Tim Mackey Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Welcome aboard Sam My first "decent modern" car was a 105E in the sixties PS the power pump panel would not have been bothered by the "high amperage" of a tractor battery - its volts that need to be right...if its designed for 12V ( and they usually are ) the capacity of the battery doesnt matter as long as its man enough...in other words it could be too small but not too big.
