Having issues with my 982 again.
Thought the battery was starting to crap out on me, have it fully chaged and LOTS of light off the head lights when I turn on the key. It will start to crank REAL slow and then just stop. Turn the key off and try again....same thing, will roll over maybe 2 times and then stop. So what is the cause of that?
Starter dirty again and not spinning free?
Something locking up internally and not letting it roll over freely?
My battery really is junk and needs replacing?
?????
I even hooked booster cables up to my truck from the tractor battery last night and it would do the same thing. Roll over once or twice and then stop?
I changed the solenoid in the spring along with the key switch (both new). I have also removed the ground wire from the battery to the frame and removed the paint and all so it is on bare metal.
Just curious, what causes your battery posts to have that furry currosion on them over the years? Every tractor I have ever owned or been around has that on the battery posts where the cables bolt to it. Is this just caused from humidity and condensation in the air with the posts heating up while being used? Or is it something technical that my pea brain wouldn't understand?
Tractor ran good last time I used it about 1.5 weeks ago to mow the lawn.
Strange and frustrating!
