Yes, measure the voltage right on the battery posts (adding the two =
voltages together if twin 6v batteries) when cranking, then compare that =
with the voltage at the battery cable stud on the solenoid and starter =
body when cranking. The difference between the two is what is being =
lost in the connections, a volt or so is normal but it shouldn't be much =
more than that.
If you get much less than 10v at the battery posts then that is the =
problem.

Next job is the slow starter motor.=20
I already cleaned the battery posts clamps and the post of the battery =
to chassis cable.
Also cleaned thoroughly the chassis to engine cable.=20
Nothing helped so far.
So next will be verifying the battery voltage when cranking. I assume =
it will be o.k. as the battery is new.
Following step will be measuring the voltage over the starter motor =
+12V to the engine.
When o.k., the starter is suspect. As it never was overhauled, this is =
logical.
Nice winter job.
