I'm in sort of the same boat Old is in. 856 diesel. Batteries were dead from sitting. Jump, it runs fine no gauge, light not blinking or on, so assume alternator is good. Couple days later I have to drag it to start. Yes it will drag to start. So finished what I needed it for, now I would like to fix it. Took alternator in and had it tested, says it is not good. I question the ability of the place and came home with it to keep the belt tight while using. It has the 3EH batteries in it and both batteries when charged are not reading with meter the next day after removing charger. Posts look warped on the positive posts to both batteries and sides look a bit swelled. I'm figuring battery time. Tractor was charging when it was run fairly regularly. This has the old square regulator for charging and one of the reasons for the doubt in the test of alternator at auto parts store. Would like to solve this though don't want to just throw parts at it. I'm going to probably rob a battery out of something else to start this week. Then I guess see what happens then.
