When I got home, I checked the trickle charger light, it was green, which meant the battery was fully charged. I then bridged the tractor positive cable with a voltmeter to the positive post while the negitive post was hooked up to the tractor. I saw 12.3 volts when bridged. I then hooked up the positive cable to the battery post and saw the trickle charger light turn red, all with the key removed and 4 ways in off position.
I removed each fuse and saw no change, then the strangest thing occured. I removed each switch on the left side of the dash and used dielectric grease on all the post. Low and behold, the charger light turned back to green and no more discharge.
Not sure if I went about it the correct way as I have never been very good with a meter, more of a mechanical guy. Anyway thanks for your help.
