Found a replacement battery for Cub Cadet Diesel (782D, 882, 1572, 1772)

Post by mgruber04 »

I bought a new battery on Amazon -- it was for a motorcycle. It is the same size as a lawnmower battery, but it has 600+ CCA and starts the diesel in a couple of cranks. It seems like it is expensive at $150.00 but when I installed it, the tractor fired right up after 30 secs of GP. it makes it well worth it.

model -- MX30L - MOTORCYCLE BATTERY - 600+ CCA
Brand -- THROTTLEX
Price -- $149.99
Free shipping with Prime.

AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)
Non Spillable Sealed Technology With Heat Sealed Cover
Dimensions:
L = 6 5/8,
W = 5 3/16,
H = 6 7/8.
Weight = 22.5 lbs

It is the same size as a regular lawn mower battery and does fit under the hood closed (has a peek aboo of space to clear on terminals)
I used bungees to strap to base box to save shifting/rattle on batt in my 1772.

Hmm, size sounds like the one used on a big Harley.
