Bad battery ???

[G3033H]

Hey all have a really weird problem, I got the tractor started and working today for about an hr. then brother in law stopped by so I shut down restarted ran for another 30 min. And the tractor died, no dash lights no nothing, pulled the battery cleaned the terminals and it won't charge ! Checked charger that's working, after 3-4 hrs on a 20 amp charge I would think it would have some kind of charge but nothing ! It's only 5 mths old The tractor since I got it and 81 hrs. Any thoughts ???

Disconnect the bat and check voltage.

Hey Murphy1244, it is at "0" volts

Your battery is fried, sorry but you must check your main ground wire before you install a new one.

The ground was is ok the tractor is only 5 months old, this should be under a warranty I would think, I tried to jump it with the truck and got power to go thru the tractor but not enough to crank the engine to start it

You have a major short or a no ground problem. If under warranty take it in. Sorry.
