JD,this is an interesting problem.I worked on trucks for 40 years,and thought I had seen it all.In the winter,jump starting ,cranking while charging 300amps into dead batteries-we abused a lot of batteries.I have seen some with almost no voltage,but not that I remember totally open circuit;in fact I doubt I ever checked for open circuit between + and - . I have replaced a lot of batteries,only saw a few blow up,most were just weak or dead. I guess its possible the bar connecting plates is designed to be a fuse,I never heard that before.I would guess its more of a distortion thing when clamped down that weakened the bar,and then caused failure under cranking load.We had owned a '99 Monte Carlo once that the battery failed in; no warning-in fact it was in the garage.I just replaced it,and had no more problem.That car went on to have several frontal deer collisions,and no battery problems.I just don't think you have a vibration issue.I googled battery construction but did not see anything helpful,but maybe something would pop out for you.I was wondering if you could contact a battery rep from a supplier that you would be familiar with.Good luck,Mark

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
