My 4400 is two years old and has serious battery terminal corrosion on the negative terminal--not just a little, but a two inch white snowball had formed after a winter of little tractor use. Then I replaced some of the corrugated plastic sheathing that had been destroyed, removed the battery, washed it thoroughly and powerwashed the battery compartment and where the corrosive fluid had leaked down onto the steering members and then used a battery terminal wire brush and cleaned both terminals thoroughly, replaced the negative side connector since the corrosion had eaten through the wire going into the original connector, added felt anticorrosion discs and completely covered both terminals with waterproof JD grease. Two months later the negative side is corroded again with white fuzzy growth. I again powerwashed the battery and the battery compartment and the grease was still intact. Does anyone have any other solutions to this issue?? Mike_S /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
