John Deere 7000 series battery terminals

[JohnDeere8530]

I have a 97 JD7000 series with knackered battery terminals. A new battery wire is £400 from Deere and they currently don't have any.

I have found a company that makes them, however they are having trouble getting a connector as shown. Does anyone know anyone that supplies such a part, or alternatively a new wire ?

Thanks

Try a motor factors. Should be a lorry battery connector that could be used.

Is that a pair of positive terminals has the tractor 2 batteries? Get 6000 series terminal that have a thread and nut and put big crimps on the cable ends to bolt them to the terminal?

Is the new part number RE34430? If so it should be £236 and is showing available to order

All that needs is a terminal with bolt on post, cut the 3 cables off the old one and crimp and solder new eyes on to bolt to the new post.

no need to replace the whole lot surely?

They are taking the P**
Any good motor factors or auto electricians should sort this out for a lot less!

Spot on!

I'm surprised no one has suggested to hammer a nail in between the post and the terminal to tighten it up. Or for long term fix, a self tapping screw.

As above, take the whole lead to an auto electrician, it shouldn't cost more than 20 lbs to fix.
