Back when I used to live on a farm, I saw two starters fried by
jumpering from 12V systems, and also saw a 8V battery that was used
for upgrading 6V systems for more performance.  I didn't pay much
attention, since I could hand-crank our tractors easily (I was younger
then), but there is certainly some kind of hack that could be done.
