Buying Advice New Battery

Island Cat · Apr 16, 2013

I just picked up my first bulldozer this week, she needs a new battery. I saw a sweet deal at Wallmart on a Ever Start 27DC-850N with 675 CCA, it's a deep cycle starter with a high rateing, 4.5 STARS. I have a 1963 Case 310-f with a newer diesel that droped right in. Does anyone know if this battery will get the job done?

Case parts book shows a pair of 6V batteries, but not the CCA. Guessing you'll want something more in the 850+CCA range with the diesel, especially for winter starting.

Get an AGM type.

Thanx I wasn't sure, I have seen the duel battery system on these little beauties in the past but thought it might be more money. I thought the CCA was a little low for a diesel. Thank you
