power loss/battery not charging

Posted by Jack on June 19, 2003 at 04:11:29 from (24.50.122.124):

I have a IH 434 (british made, from Canada)I replaced the battery about a month ago, the old battery (dated 1986) was put in negative ground, the tractor is supposed to be a positive ground, I put the new battery in negative ground (it had been working well for years). Recently was working with the lights on for a few hours, the next day the battery was dead. Now, it will die after 10 - 30 minutes and the battery is not charging. I can jump it immediately (portable jumper) and it will run fine for a short time and die again. Where do I start to find the problem. Thanks in advance for all help (again!!)
