Default Battery question

Dose any one know who makes the smallest (dimension) battery. I have changed some things around on my 149 and need to relocate the battery and was hoping someone out there might make a smaller, maybe solid core battery.

How much space have you got to work with? Some of the dry cell batterys pack a punch and are very small size wise. I had one in my race car and it had no trouble starting a 383 Chevy.

I have maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of the space left. If i use a standard size battery its not the end of the world, I just got to get creative on install and location. I have done a online search but have not found much information.

Take a look at this, http://www.performancedistributors.com/batteries.htm
Like I said it would start a 383 race engine with no trouble. In the winter I put it in my 1210 when the tractor battery wouldn't get it done and it spun the M12 like it had no compression on a zero degree day. Think you can find the same thing for less if you do a Google look up.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
