    Question:
    I have a hydro tractor model number 960460/001100. this is a model made for Ariens. How do I get the battery out? It is not under the seat, it is under the hood and seems to have the blade control support mount in the way.

    Serial number is:031510A/009782

     I removed the battery the hard way - by removing the screws to the batterty holding case.  This worked and an answer from Ariens just gae this same answer.  It would be nice if the owner manual was the same as the tractor.

       Hi Peter,

      Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.

      The procedure is as follows,

      First remove the negative cable to prevent shock, then remove the positive.

      Remove the battery hold down bracket.

      Then you should be able to pull the battery out of it's compartment.

      Thanks again for your question.

       Unfortunately this would work and normally would work but this model tractor has a support bracket for the mower blade in the way and the battery cannot be forced by!  Design flaw???

        Are you trying to remove the battery from the underside of the machine? If yours is under the hood/behind the dash there should only be one bracket to remove from the top of the battery compartment. Then it should slip right out. Is there anyway you can send a picture of the battery in your machine?
