I’m not sure why the focus on a bad battery just yet.

    Makes me wish for my old tractor and I could back it up onto a hill,
    let it get rolling and pop the clutch in 2nd gear.

      Mike,
      
      
      Try jumping it, but leave the cables connected for 20-30
        minutes before you attempt a start. Even if you’ve had the
        charger on all night. Even with a dead battery it should start
        and run. It may die when you disconnect the cables, but if it
        doesn’t, it should run, but the battery probably won’t take a
        charge.

        So my
          tractor battery went dead overnight. It's an Exide Select
          Performance battery, with 925 CCA model 31XHE with 180 minutes
          of
          reserve capacity. I tried jumping it with my truck but no luck
          it would
          just click. I started looking online, and about fell out of my
          chair.
          Prices started at $300 and and most are out of stock. Does
          anyone have
          any good sources for batteries? It was manufactured in 2014,
          so I guess
          the clock just ran out. Any ideas would be greatly
          appreciated. Is there
          anyway to service it, or rejuvenate it?
          
          Thank you,
          Mike M
