    Battery Question (not trusting my search)

    Good evening! I have appreciated the previous guidance to my other questions. Now onto the next question... My internet searches are showing standard looking lawn tractor batteries in the 275 - 300 cranking amp range for my B5100E. Since I am new to this small diesel, is that sufficient or...

    New to the forum and to an old B5100E
