I’ve got an older Gehl skid loader, 4 cylinder ford engine, runs out great. It has sat since the fall, needed a jump today and it took awhile but it started. The ammeter is 0-30 amps and the needle was way past 30 today and I noticed a little smoke coming out from the dash. The negative terminal of the ammeter is getting HOT. I took an old dead battery that I had laying around and put it next to the one currently in the skid steer. I started the engine and then swapped the battery cables from the newer battery to the dead battery. The ammeter showed it was charging around 15 amps and never got hot like before. No smoke, no issues and it kept on running for about an hour. The old battery is taking a slight charge as it will turn on the fuel pump and the solenoid will click a couple times. The alternator and the voltage regulator are new as of August 2019. Has the battery got a bad cell? Any thoughts or experiences with this are appreciated.

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
