Last weekend I met a gentleman with a 1946 Silver King Tractor. He told me that he wants to cut the bottom out of his gas tank and reshape it so a standard 6v battery will fit in the origional battery box under the tank. I told him that I thought that that was a little drastic! He said that he couldn't find a 6v anywhere that measured 8"or less from the top of the posts to the bottom of the battery. So I thought that I'd bring the question up on our forum. Does anyone know where such a battery might be purchased? I know that there is an abundance of knowlege on this sight and it grows with each new member.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Darn nice tractor.. not my favourite, but nice anyways..
Plugged 6 volt Group 1 Battery Sizes into Google and here is what I got:
6 Volt Motorcycle Batteries They are in Florida.
19L I-19L 440 120 6 65 8-1/4 x 6-5/8 x 7-3/8 25 45 auto- top post
This is a Interstate I-19L 6 volt battery. It may qualify.
I also sent an email to Exide to see what they have...
Optima has one that popped up in page 2 of the search string..
It is for a classic car etc. It is 10.25"L x6.75"W x8.0"H in size .. that should fit??
Will look a little more tonight.
I hope this helps..

I have seen the battery he needs but not for a long time. I'd guess someone still makes them but it's gonna be hard to find.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!

Thanks again Guys! I Knew I could count on you all! Rudi I think you hit the Jack Pot! 
Bob- he's had the tractor for 25+ years and is now just getting excited about it. He hasn't talked to any other SK owners yet. He doesn't get on the internet much. He's a little old fashion. He's 70 years young! Still like a Big kid just a little slower...
Big Dog, I trust that the color of this tractor repels the High Tech Cub Finder... I figure this tractor is safe...
It was built in Plymouth OH.
Thanks again,
You ALL are the Best!!!
