Hoping someone can help me out here. The tractor is 30mi from me and I want to pickup some new batteries for it before I go. I know the tractor had group 31 batteries in it. However, I can get group 65 batteries for a song! Like half the price. the issue is the batteries are nearly an inch wider than the 31.
I am not worried about the crank amps too much as the tractor will always start with one good battery so two of about anything should work fine. Or to be more precise, one of the old ones was rated at 800cca and would start. I want to install a pair of group 65s rated at 650cca each.
My tractor has a cab. Could someone possibly confirm if the 65s are likely to fit? Really if that slide out tray will accept them, it will probably work and the 65s are shorter than 31s so the width issue is it.
