Big Ugly won't start - batteries I think

[swbradley1]

Check and add distilled water (NOT tap water), charge the batts, and see if you can bring them to a Sears Auto Center or elsewhere where they have a specialized car battery tester that can give you more than a voltage..

You could buy a battery tester at Harbor Freight that puts load on the battery.

I keep mine handy for all the tractors (farm) we have.

BTW If you do this please follow the directions on the tester......only connect it for the max time allowed or less.


Or have a fire extinguisher handy.

Perhaps it's the trucks name. If I were the truck I'd be more inclined to work for you if I were called Brutus or something of the like.

It's big and it's ugly...what more does it need?

They are what they are. I have mine called many things from battle wagon, to big green, to the beast.

Oh yeah, threw the batteries in on Tuesday night and finally fired it up and moved it (10 feet but hey, it counts!).

I don't think this thing has EVER started that fast or readily. Screw chuggachugga...it was more like VAVAVAROOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMRAAAAAATTTTTTLE!
