Mike, Lets get real for a minute. You just got rid of one derelict and you are about to look at another. You are setting a bad precedent. If the next tractor is sllightly better, perhaps your strategy will be like that guy who, after fifteen trades, turned a paperclip into a house. Good luck on that. Right now you don't need a battery. If the tractor is unmodified, it will have a magneto. Pull the tractor in fourth or fifth gear. If the tires won't air up, then you are buying metal by the pound. $150 per ton. Even in California, a gallon of gas is cheaper than a fancy battery. What are you going to do with a 6V battery if you find a trashed trans/axle, a seized engine, a frozen clutch, a radiator that leaks faster than you can fill it, and so on? Chances are this tractor is not one of those "It ran when I parked it deals." If it were, the owner whould have it running. Pulling it at ten mph will tell you most of what you need to know. Save your money for the decals you are anxious to buy and spend the rest on a nice dinner for your wife. She is going to need some attention when she sees what you have drug home.
