There are only three things for sure in life: Death, taxes, and your tractor having a 6 volt system.
There is no such thing as an 8 Volt system. Again, 8 Volt batteries are a bandaid for a misbehaving 6 Volt system.
Battery cables become corroded, starters wear. The 8 Volt battery makes the engine roll over better in spite of those problems.
Replace your battery cables with new 0 gauge. Make sure all connections are clean and shiny before tightening the bolts down.
Get the ignition tuned up and timed properly. If you've got any nagging problems with the carburetor, get them taken care of too. Learn what your tractor needs to start, full choke, a quick blip, no choke....
The tractors don't roll over very fast on 6V, but they don't need to. They were designed to start on a hand crank.
