re: Lawn Tractor Battery Dead After Mowing

Checked the battery with multi-meter, 12.7v, all good there. Rusty connector on the red...I have cleaned it up before but it was funky again. Wire brush back to a metal color, started right up. There might be other imperfect connections, but I'll take running as success and deal with those later. It just seemed odd that it started perfect and ran, and then later wouldn't start again. Maybe rust magically appears between terminal and connector while I mow, who knows.

Check continuity on your ignition switch. I had one doing something very similar.

when there is rust or corrosion on battery connections, its good to add a light smear of a little wheel bearing grease to coat them after you clean them up. it keeps the rust or corrosion from returning again
