My ground switch is on the right side of battery compartment. Opposite side of battery that exploded. Explosion occurred when I hit the starter switch. I�m charging with ground switch off and a 12 v charger and can�t remember for sure, but may have run my assist charger at 40a for a few minutes. I�ve often started with the larger charger. This is a 24v starting system. 1.At this point, I guess I did the rewiring correctly or it would never start and run. There are two wires that attach to the positive terminal of the battery in addition to the starter cable. 2. I�ve cleaned and applied thin coat of grease on battery terminal, but apparently still creating an arc someplace near the battery. I�ll look over more closely before I start again. 3.in lieu of a disconnect switch, I�ve just disconnected the battery for now. 4. In both cases the battery blew out the side of the case, So am assuming the arc would have to occur at the terminals. Going forward, when I need to utilize the charger, is there away to remove this gas build up prior to starting the tractor. Over the years I�ve done this so many times on this tractor and other equipment. Now after reading all these post, getting a little gun shy.
I appreciate all the info you guys have given. Nice to know there�s help out there. ��Tis Ron

The closest town to ours was only 3 miles away, and there were seven dairy farms in the areas of these two country towns. We had 5 acres, and because my Dad was a salesman and not a dairy farmer, he let the Bockovens, who owned the Willow Tree Dairy farm most of our land.
