On a whim (because my 6 volt battery was dead and I happened to have a brand new 12 volt battery and a good 12 volt coil laying around) I switch my C over to a 12 volt system yesterday. The battery I have came out of a Ford Taurus, I think. I could have been out of an escort ZX2. Anyhow, it didn't fit inside the battery box, so I took the box off. Now, it doesn't fit in between the tank and dash, unless I turn it sideways.
So, I was wondering if anyone had an Advance Auto Parts, or Napa number for a smaller sized battery that most closely resembles the 6 volt battery that I had in there.

My battery box had the bottom rusted out of it, and someone welded a piece of steel in there before I bought it. Originally, did the bottom of the box have some special feature(like indentations) to accomodate some nuts welded into the bottom? When I got it, it had bolts with nuts so that the box could not be removed without removing the battery, which meant that I had to take the gas tank off, to remove the battery. That is a pain in the butt!
Looking back, I guess it would have been easier to tow the tractor up to the garage and plug in the charger, rather than remove the gas tank in the 10 degree weather.
