Yes i have had the wiring checked by someone else to verify it is correct. The ammeter is showing charge; however, after sitting for a week or so, it is clear that the votlage is low enough that it will barely start the tractor.

The fact that the terminals are warm concern me but I have checked and I show no current draw at the battery with the switch off so I dont think there is a constant draw on the battery while the tractor is sitting but on the other hand, something has to be draining it. It may be a bad battery - given the warm terminals and loose ground terminal within the case, although it is new it may be bad. I think I will buy a new battery and see how it does. In a worse case scenario I would have a back up battery
