Unless this is a really tiny battery, ONE hour of running would not drain it down to 10.3 Volts. We've run tractors for 2-3 entire DAYS just on the battery.

You've got a MAJOR drain on the battery somewhere, or a faulty battery.
Unhook the battery, charge it up, and leave it sit disconnected overnight. Measure the voltage the next morning.
