Just like a regular automobile, your tractor uses the battery to produce and store electrical energy to operate the different electrical circuits. Overtime, wires, connectors and components in these circuits wear out and may cause a myriad of malfunctions, including accidental connections. Even with your ignition key off, a loose electrical wire may reroute your battery's charge and drain it overnight. However, you can troubleshoot your battery using a simple tool to detect a possible drain in your tractor.

A battery, like the every-day type used in household appliances, is a set of electrochemical cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. There are a number of different disposable battery types, ranging from zinc-chloride, alkaline, lithium-ion to nickel cadmium. Irrespective of the type, however, all.

Step 2

Step 4

Connect the alligator clip on the test-light wire to the terminal on the battery cable you just disconnected.

Step 5

Touch the test light pick to the ground battery post. If the test light does not light or glow, there is no drain in your battery. If the test light comes on or glows, you have detected a battery drain in your tractor.

Locate the wire or component causing the drain by leaving the test light connected to the battery cable and post. Disconnect and reconnect components and wires -- alternator, ignition switch, solenoid -- one at a time until the test light goes out. Examine the circuit with the wire or component that caused the test light to go out to find the malfunction or take your tractor to a service facility for repairs.
