We have a 1972 Ford 4000 gas engine tractor that appears to be having battery problems (battery is 3 years old). Why do two cells on the battery
boil over when the battery is disconnected from the tractor? We have just replaced, the starter, solenoid and ignition switch. When we purchased
the battery we also installed a new voltage regulator. The battery will not start the tractor, however when you jump the tractor battery with
another battery, the tractor starts. Once started, all cells on the battery begin to boil over. We have to immediately disconnect the battery
from the tractor in order to use it. But again, why does the battery boil over when the tractor is disconnected from the battery.
We hope we have not confused you too much, but any assistance would be extremely valuable to us.
Thank you.
