Hard to Start

Well I load tested the battery and it said it was bad. Went and got a 420 CCA battery and that thing fired right up. Yea I know that is supposed to be the first thing you check. Thanks to everyone that replied!

Thanks for letting us know. Most posters never do that.
 
You're welcome. I've done this before with the battery being the last thing I checked. Maybe next time I will remember to check the battery first. And I call myself pretty well mechanically inclined, most of the time. That old battery was 3 yrs. old. Just because it has a full charge doesn't mean it is good, and I know that. It's the amps that you need to turn that thing over. Ya'll have a good afternoon.

And you bought a 420 amp battery where? Recently I've had problems finding a battery of 300 cold cranking amps that would fit in a lawn tractor but 280 were fairly common. IIR the factory battery in my JD was 230 cca.
 
I bought it at Tractor Supply. It was $49.99. Yea I didn't know they made one that big for a mower. I had planned on getting a 360 CCA till I seen the 420CCA.
