What is a good starter to use on a 400 cube wc. I have a gear reduction starter on know and 2 12 volt batteries. It has all it can do to start my tractor. I know people use a diesel starter off a 45 diesel. I run 11to 1 compression.

How did I ever get by with a standard WD45 gas starter with the center armature bushing???? I had good welding cables for pos and neg to the starter, one 850 CCA battery and 390 cubes at 12 to 1 compression. Ran this way for several years without any issues.

Rob,
I can build a pretty stout Starter motor from a Delco core if you have one to fit your WC. Usually runs around $475. or so if interested. I've done bout' a dozen of em' so far for our pulling customer's and everyone has been more than satisfied...

Its always a good practice to have your power source as close as possible. If you have to keep them up front, run cable the size of sewer pipe to cut down on voltage drop....

That's GREAT Steve ! LOL, you mean I can't pull 500 AMPS through 20 feet of #18 wire ??
Sad thing is I KNOW someone who used 3/8 copper 'bussbar' for his battery feeds pushed it through 5/8 black rubber garden hose to insulate it. It was pretty and no voltage drop either !!
