Battery issues...
So in the last week or so I have been having issues with my battery. Is it possible for a "tired" battery to just start to give you issues all of a sudden? In the past couple weeks its started to get cooler here in the Great White North and I have had to charge the battery on the 982 before using it to get it to start. It is full of fluid and it shows that its charging according to the gauge when I am running it. Lights work fine when running and are sort of bright when tractor is off before putting the charger on it. It has never been an issue starting up until now....I don't use it in the winter time, I remove the battery and put it in the basement on the wood shelf under the stairs. I have no issues with it while running or when I want to restart it after using it that same day. If it sits for more than 2 days it needs to be charged. I am guessing it is just tired and needs replacing....it just doesn't have enough ooooomph to roll over the engine. I am losing it or is it really just the battery that needs to be put to rest?
 Another question....can you charge the battery in the tractor with the cables from the tractor still hooked to the battery without doing any damage? I was always taught that you needed to remove the battery and charge it while sitting on the bench not hooked to anything? Is this true? What does it or will it damage if this is so? I guess I just never really questioned it when growing up?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
