This spring I replaced the battery in the 1772 with a new one from Farm & Fleet. It has 410CCA @ 30 degrees. I tried to start the tractor the other day, temperature was in low 60's. It cranked ok for a few seconds and then quickly slowed to a crawl... didnt start.

I put the charger on it in the start mode twice before it finally cranked fast enough to started. It appears the battery could be physically larger.

Could there be electrical issues? (battery connections, etc) Is there a better choice of batteries for it?

BTW, I think I might have a solenoid issue, in the fact I have to turn the key to the start position multiple times with just a click, before it will actually crank.


Any ideas on what could be wrong?
