Recently removed two batteries and several feet of old cables and threw them in the trash. Went to one battery and mounted it right next to the starter. There's not even enough battery cable now to whip a dog. One of the best mods this heap of sh1t has ever seen. Starts like a dream for once.
One the biggest problems with these multi-battery setups in my opinion is that it takes so much cable and so many connections. Voltage drop over long lengths and keeping an extra set of posts clean has always been foremost in my head on why NOT to do those types of setups.

Amzing how changing the starter makes them start better :hehe::hehe:
The hour meter doesn't work on our 7740, it quit at 4500. She has to have 20k hours and keeps plugging away.. beast.Yeah that's kinda what I told him, he could probably go to one or two truck batteries and be fine. There's no glow plugs or heater grids on it, so it just needs to crank.
Oh, and don't be hating on the blue Chris, you know that series from late thousands, when the 4000 went 3cyl, up to 30 series, like 4630, are some of the best out there! Not much for bells and whistles, but they just work. Not just the 4000 class size, but 2600 to 7600. Just dont see near as many things to watch for on them when researching.
