Default Battery for a GT3200
Hello, I just ventured into the world of the 3000 series with a GT3200. I found a nice unit, with only 344 hours on it. I noticed the battery is original and a bit sluggy. What is the group size etc. of this top post battery? Thanks!

Mitch, I believe they are a group 51 battery. Just make sure it has the terminals in the proper location. I have changed the battery connections on some of mine to just use a standard L&G battery with no issues.

I would suggest either a Gel or Calcium type as they are less susceptible to vibrations and being shaken to bits

I will have to try to remember that. Plus the fact that the acid splashes around. I put gel in my boat when I had it.

I've had no problems using the $40 L&G 350CCA batteries from farm and fleet. Usually last 4-5 years.

I’m actually pretty impressed the original battery still in there and it seems to be working fine it has 2009 stamped on it.

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.
