I have a few 16 hp motors I have been dealing with. On the average, around .025" off the head, nothing off the decks. OEM Kohler piston, (another topic but the OEM pistons and rods seem to result in less engine vibration IMO)
All wiring and starters are recent, all high amperage cables are AWG#4 automotive battery cables with pre assembled ends obtained from Advance Auto.
The Briggs battery seems to do the job for me ok, it's rating is 420CA(Cranking Amps) 350CCA(Cold Cranking Amps). In the pursuit of overkill, I'm was simply wondering if there was anything better.
Your mention of the Trac battery has a CCA of 390, which excels the Briggs with it's 350CCA, is a great tip, Thanks!
Now if only we could find a battery that doesn't corrode our tractors up like an old salt water fishing barge!!:biggrin2.gif:
Anybody know of a gel cell that will fit? (The gel cells do not contain liquid electrolyte that splashes out during a rough tractor ride)
