I use their Diehard motorcycle batteries in an old White rotary mower and a Troy Bilt tiller. Both are at least 10 years old.

I never had very good luck with those small garden tractor batteries. I use a full size GM battery from Walmart in my garden tractor. I also have their batteries in my cars. I just replaced one that was 12 years old and still held a charge, but didn't want to press my luck.

My garden tractor has a starter/generator and requires more amperage than an electric starter
and you don't get the benefit of the mechanical advantage like you do when the starter gear engages the ring gear. Hal
