A new battery will often start and run a small tractor for a month. Especially if it is not used very much. If it charges when running (on the amp meter) then as discussed, the cutout points in the regulator may have stuck closed. Disconnect the battery while charging it (at the negative terminal post, assuming it is positive ground as from the factory) to isolate it from possible drains. It should be charging above 7 volts, but less than 8 volts. measured across the posts. When charged, with the lights off ,battery still disconnected, and ignition button pushed in, measure across from the negative post to the negative terminal for voltage, If you get less than one tenth volt, or nothing, it has no drain. If you get battery volts 6+, there is a short in the system possibly the cutout contacts. Jim
