**** **** From the keys of Steve Henning, AT&T Bell Labs, Reading, PA mhuxl!smh > Back when I used to live on a farm, I saw two starters fried by > jumpering from 12V systems. I have a circa 1940 Ford 9N tractor which has a 6V positive ground system. I frequently jump it with a 12 volt car battery but always use cheap jumper cables to provide some ballasting of the voltage. I imagine good jumper cables could fry a 6V starter.
