Need a replacement battery
- Thread starter felhen
- Start date
The 75D23R is the JIS number for the battery. It converts to a group 25 battery. Just be aware of battery size and post locations with other sizes that may physically fit, the cables may not reach without modification.
Battery threads are like oil/grease threads, you will get a variety of responses

Measure you battery - LxWxH ..........and look at post alignment. Then go and buy the largest CCA battery that will fit that space.
The critical thing here is vibration and shock to the battery plates. A Kubota battery or a Deere TY21764A will be built with that in mind. The (brand deleted: I ain't married to none of 'em) ... So it does depend on how you use the machine.

I've had good luck with K batteries lasting longer than expected and found them cheaper than aftermarket products.
The statement categorically, that “Wally world” batteries are not appropriate is not only wrong, it’s unhelpful. The point that some batteries are not as well-designed for shock/vibration is valid however.
Af a battery cross-references to the partnumber then it’s appropriate for similar use. For example: Virtually all “Marine” batteries are protected for shock/vibrtion, as are most ”deep cycle” batteries and SOME automotive types..
I am not a WM sycophant and I hate it when I hear how they treat their employees… but
that does not transfer to all the companies whose products are sold by them. WalMart sells all types, so it’s not correct to imply that all their batteries are unsuitable for replacements. WalMart batteries are primarily mfr’d by Johnson Controls, a well-respected battery mfr’r who makes many “branded label” batteries on retailer-order which are identical regardless of “brand name”.
(and the ordinary automotive WM “Ever-Start” battery that has been in my M4700 for 7 years has still not self-destructed due to shock/vibration.)

I have had no problems with a Autozone battery that is listed for a Honda Civic (but sized identical to my OEM tractor battery). My tractor uses for several years has most definitely subjected the battery to vibration and shock.

How would you know that the internals are identical? If you ever talked to anyone that tried to supply product to Walmart, then you would know that the buyers will try to beat every nickle out of the price. It is possible that batteries are a product that is of reduced quality.
I had two different vehicles with Walmart batteries and they were a disaster. Sure, they stood behind the warranty but after a number of damaging leaks I had to give up. Never again!
What part of “Disclosure statement: I derive no benefit from it but My nephew works for Johnson Controls.” did you not understand?

I had the same issue recently with my 20the17 L3901. As soon as the weather turned cool it turned over very slow once the glow plug light went off. After having to jump it this weekend I tried several local places and ended up at one of the Kubota dealers for the same price of what one of the national chain battery stores wanted. Win win for me! I have the new battery on charge in the garage and will put it in the tractor this weekend.
I go to the local Interstate battery distributor and buy the batteries that have been returned, but there is nothing wrong with them. Interstate dealers are told to replace a battery once if the customer complains that the battery is defective. These batteries go back to the warehouse and are checked to make sure that they are good, and then a generic label is placed on the battery. These batteries are usually sold to used car dealers and new car dealers for their used cars. In this class of batteries are batteries that have been on the inventory shelves of Interstate dealers and hadn't sold in X number of months. They also go back to the warehouse where they are charged and checked for performance, and they also get the generic labels. I have been buying these batteries for years, and have had great luck with them lasting many years in service. The price is very reasonable and well worth looking into. Call first and ask if they have the size battery available, and if they do, bring your old battery with you to save the core deposit. The store that I use gives a 12-month warranty, but I don't know if all the stores in the chain do this.

Walmart sells their EverStart Maxx for a very fair price.
No hunting around necessary for a nearby Walmart, and the warranty is excellent.
EverStart, is made by Johnson Controls, the largest battery manufacturer in the world.
Things to look for when buying a battery:
How heavy is it?
How long ago was date of mfg.?

The most impressive part about Interstate Batteries is the marketing hype!
Interstate markets to new suckers across the USA every single day.
Old post..... but my 1.5 cents.... I have used Walmart batteries and their Everstart batteries in my bass boat, Dodge Cummins (new in 1999), JD garden tractor, Mitsubishi Montero, Honda Accord, Nissan 350Z, Isuzu Rodeo and as gate openers and have never had an issue with them not holding up for the long term.
