I'd have to go find my ammeter but I've been using the same battery for for or 5 years on my MF-135 gas with Continental Z-145.

There is an inverter for supplying AC to luminescent stuff in the instruments that probably no longer functions, neither the inverter nor the lights. I removed it from my tractor.

You can get manuals from MF or YT. You need to know the year, because the wiring is different.

You could have a stuck regulator for the generator or alternator that doesn't shut its field off when not running. You could have a light circuit left one. You could have a lot of dirt on top the battery or starter solenoid draining the battery. You do turn the ignition switch off when not using the tractor, I presume.

My MF-135 started every time in the last 5 years, sometimes after sitting for 3 or 4 months at a time.
