I'm with Dean. Look at your electrical. I have a 1660 Case combine with the Cummins engine. Bought it used and PO put new batteries in it without asking me (I wanted it switched to a pair of 6 volts when I got the chance, he bought Deere batteries also arrgghh) any way I suffered with that for about three years and finally switched batteries and found the pos cable was green at one of the battery terminals. Fixing that helped a little but still usually needed a jump in the morning esp in corn.
