I just finished servicing my Deere 265 lawn tractor. While working on it, I noticed a thing I do when changing batteries.I'd let it slip my mind when I was trying to think of something to add to this thread.
We all hate cleaning a corroded battery post/terminal. After installing a new battery, or just when it needs a post cleaning, add a dab of grease to the post after tightening everything. That keeps corrosion from forming again. I learned that one from a life-long Mack truck mechanic who used to service our towns firetrucks.
