Update on McCormick battery

The battery failed to start the McCormick Sunday evening and I had to do the walk of shame home. I "had" thought that the battery was only a couple years old, turns out it was 6 years old, wow does time fly. I will put a new battery in it tonight.
 
I had a starter fail on my Minneapolis Moline ZA. Lucky for me, the crank was attached to the tractor.
 
Have you ever tried putting conveyor belting about 1/4-3//8 thick under the battery, they will last longer, 10 years on a 12 volt!
 
Last fall I roke down and put new batteries in he 1086. I thought they were 6 years old but after I took them out they were dated 2007. I can remember where the tractor was sitting when I put those batteries in and the time of year. It doesnt seem nearly like 12 years ago. In the past few weeks I have been moving out all of the tractors I had packed in the barn, doing a little fixing and cleaning on them and driving them to be stored in the new building. I am so glad I put plenty of plugins along the walls of the new building because with all those batteries the plug ins will come in handy for a charger. Only two are hand crankers.
 
I have always tried to do that, for electrical insulation and reduce vibration. Any kind of rubber, inner tube, rubber roofing, whatever you have room for. When I bought the motorcycle (2009 Triumph) I have now the previous owner had just put a new AGM battery in it. It had some space around it so it could move in the box, it did that until it broke off one of the battery posts. The seller paid for a new battery, and I put rubber around it to fill the box, no problems in 7 years.
