When you say "battery is dead," you mean it
won't turn over?
I had a John deere 300 industrial (ag version
was 1020) that would do that. It would leak
hydraulic pressure somewhere, and the starter
would be trying to turn over the hydraulic pump
too.
A few quick jerks of the steering wheel right
before turning the key relieved enough pressure
that it would then start right up. I know,
sounds stupid. But it works. Give it a try
before you buy a new starter, cables,
batteries, etc.
