My 1952 Farmall H (6-volt system) cranks very slowly and is impossible to start in cold weather. Even with a new battery, the cranking is very slow and if its cold (less than 50 degrees) it's not likely to start. The battery doesn't charge while it's running since the generator isn't any good, but it's been this way for the nine years I've owned it. Since it is only used ocassionally, it's not a big deal for me to just put it on the charger for a few hours to get enough juice to kick it over. In warmer weather it usually starts, but when it's cold, it sounds pathetic and won't start. My question is: Would installing new battery cables increase the cranking power or is there something else I should be doing?
