TC40DA won't start

And I would add to ford850's excellent chart, the batteries ability to withstand amp draw is the true indication of whether it's any good. Not how many volts it's storing at a particular moment.

So True!
I have had several batteries that showed good voltage but did not have the amps to work.

Much joyload!

It fired up!

Many thanks for all your assistance.

Looks like it was a stuck starter motor not helped by a weak battery.
