70 Year Old Tractor...hasn't ran in 30 years...ADVICE NEEDED..I'M STUMPED!!!!

What happens here

The presenter highlights the challenging location of the tractor's battery, which is housed in a metal box. To access it, he explains the need to first remove a nut, drop a part, pull a pin from the starter bar, and slide the starter bar out of the way. Then, bolts on both sides of the battery box must be removed to slide the entire compartment out. Once the old battery is removed, the new battery will be inserted, and the process reversed to reassemble and connect the battery terminals.

Goal: Replace the old battery with a new one
