Had the same deal with a local dealer about 25 years ago. I have forgotten what brand he was selling, I think Interstate or Varta. Anyhow, we were fitting dual batteries in an IH pickup to crank the 4-53 diesel engine we installed.
With one battery in each front corner of the engine bay, we decided it would be easiest to wire using a size 27 in one box and a 27F in the other. Only difference between 27 and 27F is that the POS and NEG post positions are reversed, so both batteries ended up with the POS post in front and inboard. Before connecting the two new batteries, I charged them with a 8 amp charger. The 27 was fine, the 27F was open circuit, no power would go in or out.

He had 6 more 27F batteries sitting on the shelf, he checked every one as I stood there, all were duds, so he had 8 bad 27F batteries in stock.

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
