33D block heater

Hello All,

So I'm planning on rewiring the 33D after I give it a degreasing bath and I was wondering is there anything special in regarding the block heater when I rewire it? Right now the tractor has 2x6V batteries (12V total obviously). I'm wanting to get rid of the 2  6V batteries and just have one 12V battery. Or is it better to leave it with the 2 6V batteries like it was originally intended? Or does it really matter? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

       Cheers,
                    Dakota

Dakota,

It may cost more to buy two six volt batteries than one 12 volt but I believe you will get alot better cranking power from the two six volts because you have twice as many lead plates sitting in the battery acid. Just a thought...
