On most of those skit steers the batter will come out with the arms down....it's not easy, but it can usually be done. That said, a new battery and jumper cables aren't going to do you a bit of good unless the cables are at least as big as the battery cables currently going to the battery. In the end though bigger is better and if you can find a set made of at least 1-0, that ought to do just fine. That said insure that you completely disconnect the old battery as leaving it in the system will, basically, draw the new battery down to it's level. In other words a new battery hooked up 'remotely' with cables heavy enough to actually start the engine and you should be good.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
