If the terminals are warmer than the battery box adjacent to them, they are likely to be either in need of cleaning, or the battery is indeed bad.
Check two things: charging voltage at 3/4 throttle (should be 7.2 volts, or between 7 and 7.4)
If it is not, it may need to be more adequate diagnosis.
The second is the battery itself. Charge it with a good charger that will taper charge it to full. (or a 2 amp charger for 5 hours or so)
Then (with it disconnected from one terminal of the tractors system) wait for 24 hrs and check the voltage across it. It should be in the 6.4 to 6.5 volt range. Jim
