No doubt Tom you and I are on the same page in the hymn book. My 140 is a 1963 model and still has the 6 volt system it came with. About 10 years ago, I had the generator rebuilt and several years later, the carburetor was rebuilt and I don't have any issues with it cranking and running.
I will admit all my tractors have been converted to 12v. I converted a couple, but the most recent one (NAA) a previous owner did it. I was convinced in my youth (30's are your youth, right??) that it was a must for our Wisconsin winters, but I am less so now. Plenty of 6 volt systems out there doing just fine. I did keep the generators should I ever want to put them back. With the Fords, keeping the mating surface between the block and starter is a big thing, too. I can not imagine that is unique to Ford tractors only.
I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to that convert to 12v at the first sign of any issues. Half the time the have those tiny 12v cables on them. I keep everything original with clean connections and good heavy cables. To each their own I guess.
I agree. If I bought it missing everything, then it makes sense to me I guess. But just to arbitrarily do it seems silly. It’s like those pertronix ignitions: some love them, some hate them. I bought one for a super c a few years back and it was junk out of the box. Tractor Rachel told me more than half are no good brand new. Thank You for watching
Great tutorial. Corrosion on electrical connections are a real killer. Thanks again for sharing, have a great day!
Thank You. You too.

That’s a great saying-I love it. Thank You Mark
Another outstanding teaching video!! Always learning something from you Tom! Even if it’s just being more receptive to other opinions!!👍🏻
Thank You for your kind words.

Yes about the starters. An NAA is on my short list

6v HEAVY GUAGE
Yep
Even in cars use electrical grease. In a pinch I have used petroleum jelly. 🤭🫣
That works too
