Wish that was true of my 2005 PT-422. Unfortunately, the arrangement PT chose for that version only has room for a garden tractor sized battery underneath the exhaust manifold. That being said, I have not had any starting problems after I replaced my battery last year, even with the smaller size that my PT-422 allows.
Hi Tim, welcome back! Looking forward to hearing about your new found land in WA.
Is your battery size U1? During my search I thought about you guys with the older 422s I think that I saw U1s and ATV/motorcycle batteries with about 350 CCAs... One other solution that I thought about was a battery bracket on the back of the tub. I recently welded a bracket on the rear of mine to hold 40lbs John Deere weights. A bigger battery would also fit there and add weight to the tractor. That being said, if its working okay, don't fix it.
