I see that the N70ZZ has 720 CCA. That is plenty for the yanmar, if the battery is in good condition, I would say. After my experience with the 'battery fighter'....I suspect that yours has let your battery deteriorate.

I got one of those little jump starter gizmos for Christmas, About the same size as a mobile phone But fatter and it was able to jump start my mates Hilux 4 cyl diesel I'm doubtful that it would start a tractor though.
As you battery is less than 2 years old it Should still be good to go, Sounds like the problem is the charger.
Have you got another battery charger you can try to see if you can get a charge into the battery?
Hello All,
here is a bit of footage from the USA of a stable mate of my little tractor - mine came painted red. I think the European market got red paint while the USA and other areas came in green. The video captures their sound really well. Accessed May 28th 2017 from, Pulling logs out of creek with a Yanmar 240D diesel - YouTube . My tractor is a four wheel drive one as well - YM 240 D. Here is specifications sheet for it - no battery details mentioned though Accessed May 28th 2017 from,

Most stock photograph online seem to be the 2WD versions so getting a youtube clip of the 4WD like mine was a good score

Hello All,
I tracked down a battery for the multimeter. The N70ZZ battery is reading at 13.25 volts. I tried my PROJECTA Automatic 6/12V 2700mA 2 Stage Battery Charger and within 10 minutes its green "charged" light came on. I hooked up the Battery Fighter and it went to a fixed green light too.
I started to look for other possible faults. Fuses are all okay. The positive lead to the starter motor could be moved a little bit at the terminal post so I tightened the nut up. The negative or earth cable is a bit frayed and is only a eyelet pinched by a 13 mm bolt to the radiator frame. I will see if I can get a new one; or I will make a replacement. Also wire brush the metal and reinstall the eyelet and fixing bolt, then paint over it.
The ignition switch was close to being frozen too. I will pull it out and clean it later on in the week.
I will also wait to see what my friends on the US of A based Yanmar tractor forum say about what characteristics the battery should be for my tractor.
If all that fails I will have to call a mobile auto electrician. The grass can get that bit longer in the paddock. Flat grass is overrated anyway!
Kind Regards

Since then it has been ride on mowers and tractor with slasher. The steering quadrant of the ride on has worn down and there is no adjustment. Unfortunately the Rover Rancher manufacturers no longer exist and MTD - the new owners do not stock the replacement steering quadrants any more.
Next stage is that I am going to get a thin cutting disk to the bottom of the quadrant's mounting rod. I will then tap a thread into the bottom of the mounting rod and I will put a bolt and washer in it - or a bit of flat bar. I will then make up a keyway out of some steel. When mounted back on the mower's main frame this should allow for some adjustment in the quadrant.
Just a well winter is not too far off - we might get a frost and it will knock the grass back a bit.
My former career was in parks and gardens. Our main task was to make parks look nice and neat; with grass all looking well maintained.- you know level and flat.
I like the paddock having nice variation in heights and seed heads growing around the place. Upon sunset the gloaming light through the grass flowers and seed heads are picturesque. However, this view is not shared by SWMBO. Something to do with red bellied black and king browns things that go slither I think. Some people have no sense of adventure!
Not that I am too cut up - pardon the pun - about not being able to mow the grass. There are better ways to spend the weekend. Anyway off for a stroll in some long grass with the dogs to admire the view....
Kind Regards
