Re: Battery type and best deal
Bought cheap on at Tractor Supply & it only lasted 18 months & replaced it with a Interstate & got 6 plus years, so no complaints there, but when it went I did put in an Optima & I'm still loving it after 3 years.

Re: Battery type and best deal
The 6-volt battery I have now in this particular model A I bought at a farm supply a good 7 years ago. It still cranks the engine over fairly good but seams to draw fire from the coil and have trouble starting. The starter has just been rebuilt and works fine on a new battery. It's my understanding that even though a battery can still turn an engine fairly well it may not have enough to feed the coil.

Re: Battery type and best deal
At a dollar a month for 84 months, it owes you nothing ! Hopefully someone more knowledgable will address the starting issue ! Wayne

I have a small lawn tractor battery that I bought from the recycling yard for about a buck. I soldered a copper strap onto the broken battery terminal and used it for 7 years before it finally quit. It's a Panasonic battery and weighs about twice what the Menards store replacement weighs. |
