    What battery fits?

    Thanks! I'll go measure the base of a 4DLT and check out the BCI 49 and 65 case sizes as well.

    What battery fits?

    I have a Ford 231 diesel with a 19.25 x 8.5 inch battery tray. The tractor has a small automotive battery now which I need to replace. The 4DLT batteries usually recommended for the 231/2600 diesels are listed as 20 inches long so I assume they won't fit my tray. Anyone know which battery...
