JD 345 battery

[GordyMN]

Does anyone know the battery model number for a 2000 John Deere Model 345 lawn tractor? The JD number is TY21755, but I don't realyl want to pay their prices.
If you have another battery for a 345 what is the make and model?
Thanks.

Lowes sells a Briggs brand tractor battery for $50. It is the largest cranking AMPs they have available at Lowes.

If it is a car size battery, then you might have to pay the piper.

I would measure the battery area and see if a car battery will fit. I use a Walwart car battery in my Wards tractor that has the side terminals that most GM cars used. It's 10 years old. I also use their batteries in my cars and my standby generator. I also had to replace my battery cables. The battery posts were contacting the bottom of the hood and fried the paint. Hal

Just take the battery to an auto parts store and they can match its dimension to a car battery. I believe the 345 used a battery bigger than the standard lawn tractor battery, but autozone, NAPA, even Walmart should have no trouble finding you a proper sized replacement.

it is real similar to a 22NF battery, but the posts are reversed, I bought one a month or so back, was about 80.00, they said it was the same as some of th Honda or toyota auto battery...
