Default Battery needs to be jumped - even though wiring and electrical system was replaced

Hi,

For years I have had to always put the charger on my 129's battery for a few minutes (or longer depending on outside temperature) to get it started. I assumed that once the electrical components were replaced, which was just done recently - including the wire harness, points, coil, regulator, plug, battery, that I should no longer have to do that. Something still seems to be drawing it down if not used for a week or so. The only part of the electrical system that wasn't replaced was the ignition switch. Could that be accounting for a slow drain? My dealer, who replaced the wire harness, felt fairly confident that with everything that was done I would no longer have a problem. Any thoughts as to why I still need to use a charger? When I turn the key on, the needle moves towards the discharge side if the tractor sits for a week or so without being used.

Thanks,
Keith
