8n shorted batt

I installed a new battery (without tie down) and was plowing snow. The batt slid and shorted out on the hood. The tractor shut off and would not restart ( no juice). I tried to jump it with a batt booster and still no juice. What did I damage? regulator? battery? starter solenoid? Help!!

Don't really know, several possiblities, broken internal battery post connection comes to mind. Bad battery output cable clamp. Bad battery cable inside molded battery clamp.

Don't think your welding miss-adventure would muckkup your starter solenoid OR muckkup your voltage regulator, (unless you've converted to 12 volts with built-in solid state voltage regulator)..... ....Dell

If ya don't get power to the ignition coil, ain't gonna start no matter how you get the starter to turn over by directly connecting to the starter buss bar terminal from the starter solenoid's OTHER big terminal. Electricity don't go backwards thru the starter solenoid.

If you connect your battery charger to your battery terminals, if'n one of the terminals are bad, ya ain't gonnna charge yer battery enuff to turn the starter motor eather. And your battery charger probably don't have euff gutts to turn your tractors starter motor ennysways.

Sofar, everything points to a bad battery post terminal..... ....Dell

He could then take the battery in for a diagnosis or a prorate if the battery failed internally...
