The test is to charge the battery with one or both battery cables
unhooked. Leave the battery still unhooked, overnight. If the tractor
won't start in the morning (remember to reconnect the cable) then
replace the battery.


His lead-acid battery is probably sulfated and not capable of being charged
properly.

Vector makes chargers that allegedly desulfate and recondition L-A
batteries,but I've not tried them myself.
The charger would cost more than a new battery,that is certain.

Of course,you could buy a Vector charger,try it,and sell it on Ebay as
bearely used if you aren't satisfied with its desulfating results.
