Youre welcome, thanks for the kind words, Im glad to help when I can. I've learned a great deal here from Bob (the ex mayor) and Bob M and Jim (janicholson) and other gentlemen, and they may have even learned from me a time or two...
Im not sure just what happened, but can say if you hook a charger backwards to a battery (charger + to battery -) she will indeed pop n spark n raise the dickens..... It dont matter which battery post (+ or -) happens to be bonded to some huge hunk of iron (the tractor frame) they still connect to the charger + to + and - to - And a genny can work fine at EITHER Pos or Neg ground provided its properly polarized
I guess what Im saying is I cant be sure if the battery wasnt okay and you hooked the charger wrong or if something else was actually the case?
Nowwwwww if a battery is like dead it might be connected to a charger wrong and NOT spark so much as described above and if was left connected that way and a person wanted to start all over and wasnt sure what may have happened to that battery before..... I think I would place a small load on the battery like a headlight n let it burn out to completely discharge the battery and let it set a while and then hook it correctly to a charger and put it at on a slow charge rate n just let her cook a while n see how she recovers.
Thats my best shot not being there and not really knowing what may have happened.
Whatever you do Id re polarize the genny before you crank her up

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
