Old tractor and battery terminals

New battery clamps or lead foil shims. Even other metal shims may
work, but lead foil works best. I have in the past, while working
where you could not easily get ANY parts, pounded out a lead weight
into a small sheet to shim a loose battery clamp.
Once, I happened to be at a local drive-in restaurant at the
same time as some co-workers who could not start their car. With the
hood open, it was obvious that it was the battery clamp and the terminal
in the battery itself. As a quick work-around, I drove a fat wood screw
into the line between the clamp and the terminal, with the advice to get
it replaced soon.
Great minds think alike. BTDT on a dark road once.
