A magneto Farmall didn't need a battery at all if you hand cranked.
12v conversion was the best thing we ever did, especially for a machine that
doesn't see a whole lot of use. We were going through a 6v battery every 3
years or so, I think we're at 4 years on the 12v battery. It also really whips
the engine over, especially good for that first start in the spring.

So your Farmall was converted to 12V? Ours is 6V.
The only power drain on those is the ignition, if you
hand-crank it to start and don't use the lights.
