TO-35 with a 12 volt system.Has been running real well all winter. Last week my truck battery was dead, so I tried to use the tractor to jump it (convience -- they were sitting next to one another). Never did get it to turnover the truck, so I had to haul and extension cord & battery charger across the driveway. Went to use the tractor the next day, *real* slow to turnover, never fired (like a dead batter)...had to jump start the tractor. Moved it over to the garage, hooked it up to the battery charger for 45 minutes @ 10 amps, would turnover just fine. Once I fixed a fuel problem, she fired right up. Worked with it for 40 minutes, shut off, went to restart, dead battery again. I popped the top of the battery today, and I see water up near the top of all the holes. I'm *thinking* that since she stays running indefinetly (used her for another 90 minutes after the second jump start), the alternator is good -- it was rebuilt last fall when I bought the tractor. So I'm thinking something in the charging system ain't working, and I'm wondering if I "overloaded" it trying to jump my pickup. Problem is I've never debugged a charging system before, so what would I be looking for or could test to say, "Yep, got power here, don't got power here, therefore this gizmo is bad."
