i have "chunks of acid" fallin from the + - terminals of the battery. Is this normal:ermm: or is there somethin like a sizing issue goin on or is it corrosion:confused: , or somethin else. :uhoh:

All help appreciated. I'll b workin on the belts, oil change, deck removal and blades while this question is out floatin around.

lol...if its "chunks" id say you have a corrosion issue. dump some coca cola on the terminals and then rinse it off with water

from what i get its somewhat normal but i would take some steps to prevent it. ! get a ternimal cleaner clean the top of the battery and wire really god get all the acid crap off of it then hook it up and put some elctric grease on it i forget what they call it exactly but that should keep the corosion stuff from coming back up thats what we do at the farm i work at at least

You know, I feel great drinking a nice cold Coke knowing that I can also use it to loosen seized bolts and clean battery terminals... :uhoh:
