Craftsman Lawnmower. (Battery)

[Ronald_1938]

Hi. I have an older Craftsman Lawnmower. Still in excellent shape, stored in a shed after using.
I am getting to old to keep yanking the pull start, I am looking for a Battery for this machine. Battery hasn't been used probably in 15 plus years now.
Craftsman 21 inch Lawnmower, electric start, shelf propelled. Running with a B&S 6.5 HP
Craftsman Model is: 917.378460
Serial is: 032702M013064

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ron.

Would you know if this battery is the one?
Haven't looked at the lawnmower yet to see the old one.
Thanks for your response, appreciated.

I would look at the old battery to see if the battery in your picture is the same dimensions. May take some creative wiring, but the now obsolete battery came with an adaptor plug. so maybe able to retrofit something.

Be careful to get a battery with the same + and - orientation or the cables may not reach .

Measure the height, depth and length. Also how many cold cranking amps it is. The cables can be lengthened accordingly.

Thanks will do.
I also have a Small Engine Repair license, but been away from this for almost 30 years. Had my own business, but suppliers all gone now, or changed hands.

Oh yea that is a must for this old timer. I see seniorcitizen, does 86 make me one?

Yea, I am going to bring the lawnmower out, when it warms up some. Check everything out. Service the machine at the same time.
