Tgtack 779 #1 Posted June 17, 2018 Have a 654 with the small battery tray, what size/model battery to fit it? Have a new U1 on the shelf but way to big. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,682 #2 Posted June 17, 2018 Have never seen a that couldn't use a lawn and garden battery unless the engine has been changed out causing interference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,137 #3 Posted June 17, 2018 I haven't seen one personally but I've heard of people putting bigger engines in the short frame tractor and needing to use a very narrow motorcycle battery. You may need to take some length and width and height clearance measurements and bring what you have to the parts store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My honeys 657 uses a U1- 7 I know your tractor is 3 years older and I don't know if that - 7 means something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,682 #6 Posted June 17, 2018 I just looked in thee manuals section and your 654 battery tray part number is 4953 and the part number for my 1055 which uses a regular lawn and garden battery is 4953, same part! You will have to remove the brake peddle rod to allow the peddle to drop down out of the way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tgtack 779 #7 Posted June 18, 2018 Well measured the tray and went to Wally world, and low and behold, the U1 battery I already have is the same dimensions, so good to go. I must have been thinking about the full sized battery in the 1276. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #8 Posted June 18, 2018 I did the exact same thing - the older mid 60's used a 22NF battery that had a larger footprint and was much taller as well. Go price one for the 1276 - not a cheap battery size, either..lol. Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
