A freshly charged battery can be the worst. It has more explosive gas build up. I've seen batteries blow up just when some one started to crank over their vehicle. That can be cause of a loose battery connection creating a spark or an internal battery failure.
This is why when removing a battery always disconnect the ground first. Wether it's a positive ground or negative ground system always disconnect the ground first. The reason for this is;
If the ground is hooked up and the hot wire is disconnected first there is more of a chance that your wrench will come in contact with some part of the vehicle frame while loosening the clamp of the hot wire. If this happens you have a dead short which will turn your wrench RED HOT in just a few seconds if the battery doesn't blow up in your face and instantly blind you.
I've seen so many people put acid in new batteries and not even wear safety glasses. I tell them what can happen and they just brush it off. If I was in charge or owned the company and seen this I would send them home for the day. No buts about it. Safety First. You don't get a second chance.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
