Something went BAM! SPARKS!!!
What happens here
Carefully place the new Duralast battery into the tractor's battery tray. Reinstall the battery bracket and hand-tighten the nuts to secure the battery in place. Next, connect the negative (ground) terminal first, followed by the positive terminal, and snug down the terminal nuts using a 10mm wrench. Ensure all connections are tight. Finally, spray battery terminal protector (CRC Technician Grade Battery Terminal Protector) over the connected terminals. Apply at least two to three coats, allowing drying time between coats, to create a robust seal against corrosion.
Goal: Securely install the new battery and protect all connections from corrosion.
