Hi,
Looking for a little help with my old tractor, a Ford 1710.
Haven't started it in a year and it needs a new battery. Hard part is it has an old aftermarket bucket on the front that doesn't allow me to open the hood to access the battery unless I can start the tractor.
I can get my hand in to attach jumper cables but my cars don't seem to be powerful enough to jump start it.
Was wondering if anyone had the specifications for the battery required for the tractor. It's been 10 years since I bought the one in it and I don't have any records of it. Can't even really get a measuring tape in there to measure it. Have tried taking off the hood but pieces parts in the way make it very difficult. Hoping if I get a new battery I can jump the tractor with it and get it running to raise the bucket.
Appreciate any help. I know it is kind of an odd problem.
Thank you,
Francis
