Jason I notice also someone suggested battery cables. You suggested this has become progressively worse over several years.
In 1986 I had a 6 cylinder turbo Deere, batteries were 5 years old. Cables looked decent but had a few breaks in the casing. It was just before Christmas and the Deere was a bit slugish on starting right around freezing mark or colder. These cables were 11 years old. I went to Deere ordered complete new cables to factory specs. This was a forestry skidder being operated miles from electricity. When real winter hit and temps started dipping to -30F every night. The Deere started just fine with a sip of ether. By the way, I got two more winters out of those batteries.
