I went to start my tractor yesterday and the battery was dead. I may have left the key on, but I'm not sure, I wasn't really paying attention when I tried to start it.
I removed the battery and placed it on the charger. I then went to look for a replacement as this battery has been in service for more than 5 years. I'm not sure how old it is, it was in the machine when I bought it.
The battery is a Napa brand BCI code 31A..... Napa Model 7237.
I don't know if this is the correct battery or not, but the replacement or the closest one based on the BCI code retails for 157$.
That's more than I figured it would cost.

I'm not sure if I need 1200 cc amps being that even in coldest conditions I have here, I still don't need the glow plugs. Our coldest temperature this winter was right at 32F. The engine is a 4 cylinder 121 c.i. naturally aspirated.
I understand that the alternator is sized for the load/battery and vice versa.
Can I use a smaller battery or do I need to fork over 160+ to NAPA?
