Charging/Battery system on H

Posted by Brian in NY on May 13, 2005 at 06:30:36 from (66.14.199.4):

Couple of questions as I am getting real tired of hooking up the charger to the ol girl every couple times I go to start it.

1) Can you "recondition" a battery? I have a nice JD strongbox, about 4 yrs old....just doesnt" seem to want to hold a charge.

2) My generator not spinning fast enough I reckon. One reason is that the lower mount is busted. Should I rebuild the genny and fabricate a new lower mount, or just go with a GM alternator? I have a good rebuilt alternator (from a 95 Chevy truck) that seems like it would work well.

3) What is involved in switching to an alternator?
How do I mount it so that it is not going to stick out the side or require a hole cut in the hood (sorry, but I refuse to cut the old girl or have her look like a cobbled mess)?

4) If I gotta buy a new battery, what brand would you fellas recommend?
