While servicing tractor I noticed that the battery had slobbered enough acid to really make a mess out of the plate that it sits on and all the retaining hardware. Having not much better to do I decided to R&R battery, battery mount plate and all the hardware. I thoroughly wire brushed and sanded everything down good and applied primer. Next day I applied Rustoleum Red paint, several light coats and it turned out looking pretty slick. Everything used to be black but I thought a little red would look good under the hood. You can't see it with the hood closed but when you open it, that red is working. I still have the original battery and it's going strong, when it need's replacing I'll go with one of those gel type to help keep that acid from sloshing all over the place. I'll get a few pic's tomorrow.
