WANNABE1-- how'd you make out? Guess I'm lucky, I also still have the original battery in my 2310, now over 4 years old.
I would also suggest checking the ground strap -- very closely. Mine also (eventually) broke, but before that the tractor was becoming increasingly difficult to start. Most, if not all, of the starter's juice will travel through that ground strap. I even added a second ground strap for insurance; tractor started like it had a new battery after that repair.
