this is a little off track but it's all electrical, so I hope the moderators will allow it.
I bought a 1956 tractor that originally had a 6 volt system... somebody converted it to 12 v. He left the 6 v starter ...It seems to work... I'm wondering if it's possible it might work too well.
I wonder if someone would be willing to discuss the motor characteristics when running a 6 volt (series wound? ) motor on 12 v ....rpm, torque, current etc. compared to what they would be on 6 v. would they be doubled or is there more to it .
Also, the possibility of inserting a series resistor of some sort, what kind of resistor it might be, where it could be obtained, and whether or not it would be necessary.... is the motor likely to be damaged?
thanks
