What battery fits?

I have a Ford 231 diesel with a 19.25 x 8.5 inch battery tray. The tractor has a small automotive battery now which I need to replace.

The 4DLT batteries usually recommended for the 231/2600 diesels are listed as 20 inches long so I assume they won't fit my tray. Anyone know which battery case size does fit?
 
Unless the battery tray has been replaced, it should be the proper size for a 4DLT. If you look at pictures of the 4DLT batteries on various web sites that sell them, they all have a lip at the top that extends out past the main body of the battery, and that lip is probably what measures the full 20 inches. If the lip is 3/8" at each end, then the main body of the battery would be:

20" - (2*3/8) = 19.25"
