Well that was bloody scary.
I charged the (not entirely flat) battery on my Fordson Super Major overnight and came to start it this morning. Big spark, huge bang, smell of battery acid and battery fluid dripping all over the barn floor.
Everything had been done properly. Correct polarity. It just seemed to happen out of the blue.
Any idea how best to clean the battery acid off the tractor and floor? Hose pipe?
What is is likely to have been destroyed? Alternator? Anything else?
Thanks for any advice
