Battery on a Carlton stump grinder?

[Garyjp]

Check the starter solenoid, starter switch and any safety microswitches that may be fitted. Im not familiar with the machine but it not cranking should be an easy one to find. A volt meter will help tho and are cheap ad chips if u dont already have one. Good luck

Sure you've charged it properly? Did the ammeter read high then slowly come down as it charged? How long was it left dead for? If more than a day you may have goosed the battery.

 

For a new battery, use your local motor factors. Take the old one to them and they will do you the best price on a replacement that will fit and do the job. Don't involve a dealer unless you like paying over the odds.

Try some jump leads onto the battery leads from a known good battery (your truck for instance) just to get it going and to rule out any other causes.
