Tractor Battery

Posted by Bus Driver on November 17, 2004 at 17:09:39 from (66.226.36.42):

My tractor came new in 1978 with two #4EH batteries, each 6 volts, hooked in series for the tractor 12 volt system. When replacement needed, the battery dealer told me that the #3EH had more cranking amps even though the #3EH is a bit thinner. So I have used them for several years, getting about 4 years life, sometimes almost 5 years. Today had to buy again. Asked the man about a 12 volt unit to replace the two 6 volt. The #3EH has 1050 cranking amps. He sold me one #31P which has 1250 amps. Saved big $$$. Had to make wooden spacers so that the clamp frame would hold it tight. It does seem to work well, but is much smaller than the two together. Anyone else made such substitutions? What did you use and what were the results?
