Dash lights and clicking when turning key to start

[MotorSeven]

My battery is the original Interstate from 2008 year ago, but still working good.

Koua, I am going to give you No OX stuff a try, the tube arrived last week.

I still have my original battery from Oct 2005 in my CK20. I did start to have clicking or no start problems two years ago and at first just removed the battery neg cable at the frame and cleaned it which solved that problem then when it happened again, one of the clamps was loosening. I found the stock clamps aren't the correct size for US batteries so I replaced both of them for a couple bucks each and haven't had a problem since. This tractor also sits for weeks at a time with no use and then has to start at the coldest times in the winter and work it's butt off removing snow. Never put it on a charger or jumped it.

Ok..so battery was charged and cables cleaned,installed and finally got to test it yesterday,temps were -10c turned the key on to pre-heat ,no issues glow plugs lit and way she went!

So,could have been a combination of bad connections and low battery as mentioned above.

Thanks all for your help.....again!
