battery for jd 410

[rocco33]

hi i just purchased a john Deere 410 tlb with no backhoe, year is unknown but should be about the early 80s and i am having issues starting it it has the 4 cylinder diesel and and when i crank it 3 times it kills the battery so have to jump it then starts my question is does it need 2 batteries or just one and what size battery does it need cause right now it has 1 875 cc exide marine/RV battery in it and i tested it and took it to get tested at the auto parts store and they said it was good battery and they charged it for me but still having same issue thanks

Does it happen to start easier when the engine is cool, and harder after it has warmed up? If so could be a starter going bad. Just my. 02

only happens when cold will start fine once its warm and it has a new starter and fully charged battery am going to try and install a second battery parallel to get more cranking amps see if that works

on my 410 there is a mechanism that disconnects the hydraulic pump while starting in order to allow it to crank easy. I have read that sometimes this is not working. Check on the clutch peddle for a little stop lever . it should allow you to go further toward the floor when disengaged.

Just curious, did the second battery do the trick for you.
Also, marine batteries aren't the best for tractors.

Yes it did work and i was going to replace them with the correct battery if anyone know the size battery needed? but now have a new problem might be the injection pump but i have a different thread on that issue
