This is my second go-round with battery leak damage on my TC40D and I'd like to be done with it. The tractor has been down for two weeks with a hydraulic steering leak caused by leaking acid and I've been removing parts too badly corroded to replace including battery plate and bolts. A mechanic from a dealer is returning this week with new hydraulic fittings and lines plus oil cooler pipes and other parts (some is warrantee work). I allready bought an Optimum sealed battery. There is bad paint damage on top of the front axle and peeling on the chasis near where the supersteer arms fasten.
I sponged affected parts with baking soda water but this corrosion is rough and scaly so I'm wondering if I need to grind, sand or just spray on the NH Gray paint right out of the can. These areas will be real tricky to work on after the new plate is installed. I'm trying to include a picture but this system is fighting me.
