I did finally get the battery out by disconnecting the ground cable from the other end.

The battery tray was nasty, but thankfully, everything underneath was solid.

I would also like to apologize to Jimmy for using the tray I had promised him. Unfortunately, Ol' Turbo's battery tray situation was more dire than I thought.


Now for some touch up paint...

OK I'll be honest; I had to think about that one for a second, then.......


Tyler might have used the word "promised", but he was merely going to help me out with an extra part he had. Looking at Ol' Turbo's battery tray, he no longer had an "extra".
Daw sent me a tray in really good shape, so that will take care of the really bad one. My newest shipment of POR15 will make the other nasty one I have very workable, so no worries here either.
Now I just need to try and find one for my tractor! That thing is really hurting.......

Hey! These Cole Haans have served me well for the past two years. Probably the best shoes I've ever bought.

You could have at least kicked the diaper and box top out of the way before snapping the pic.

Okay, JimmyL, not to hijack Tyler's thread, but you know me....I just HAVE to ask --- what year and model tractor do you have? I'll find you a battery tray for it.

Oh....and do you see any big "D" in daw?
