I'm in Houston for a week, and my dad wants me to replace the battery in his old tractor. Not sure what model it is, but it's 6V positive ground. The battery that's in there now is a Group 1. The battery tray looks like it would accommodate a much longer battery. Should I consider putting a bigger one in there, like a Group 4? There's not much difference in price, $79 vs $99 from TSC. The Group 4 battery weighs twice as much and it's 1/2" taller -- both of which will make a lot harder to wrassle into place. (the tractor is in a shed with a muddy floor, poor lighting, and just enough weeds and blackberry vines to grab your ankles occasionally and rip them up)
There are no battery tied-down straps. I probably ought to gerry-rig something.
BTW, dad is in the hospital, recovering from sepsis 2 weeks ago. He's doing much better now, but probably won't be released for another week. I don't know what that has to do with this thread, maybe goes to "what does your dad want?" (I haven't asked him yet. I just pulled the old battery out to see what it was)
