"everybody" has this Readily available anywhere Too !!! …. Well just for Kicks try this Guys … this method I learned from an old mechanic 25yrs ago …. i've been wanting to pass this method of cleaning batteries and areas around, up for along time now ….Įverybody always brings up the "Baking Soda and Water" process Not necessarily the cheapest to be found, but I've run Interstates in vehicles for ten years and replaced them because I didn't want to gamble on them lasting longer. That includes the U1 tab type used in most small tractors. I have bought only Interstates for the past twenty years, for all my needs. Of course, I had to remove the battery tray and pedestal sides, repaint them, and do a good baking soda cleanup in the pedestal area. Made a neat installation, and I think the Interstate is on its fifth seasons. The MT-26 has the terminals "straight," that is, reversed from the 22F battery that Deere specifies for the tractor. I don't know if the battery cables on my tractor have been replaced, but the Ford reverse terminal configuration would not install with the terminals on the front side. My solution was to get an Interstate MT-26 battery. The voltage output of the voltage regulator is about 14.5 volts on my tractor, so the problem was obvious. Some electrical checking showed that it would not charge up beyond around 13.2 volts any attempts to charge it further turned into electrolysis of the electrolyte, causing the spew. Two years later, it was spewing acid out the vents. My 318 had a brand new Strongbox in it when I bought it.
