ok need some general help .......

Plus 1 for Kenny, if it was not leaking I would use some good Liquid Gasket and let 3 Bolts do the Job, drilling a straight hole through that small bolt might be tuff, But good Luck if you take it on, Hope all turnes out OK

teach, You have performed the poor man's load test. When a sufficient load is placed on a battery the rated voltage should hold. If you had a bat hydrometer you would probably see bad cells. The crank spec on the battery is not that significant. Your single should crank easily with the 225 A rating. Get a bat hydrometer , they're only a couple bucks. These only work with screw cap entry into the cells.
 
I am taking the battery to the local advance auto parts place they will load test it for free. I hope its the battery but if not ill start looking else where believe it or not i really enjoy the learning experience. A guy that lives in my housing development fixes mowers on the side but i want to do it my self. Thanks so much for all the help i have gotten here. Great forum and good group of guys. Once i learn more ill help the newbs like me one day.

i was thinking of drilling all the way through it with a 1/4 inch bit and putting a bolt and nut on it since it seems to be open on the end and there is room to do it. As hard as it was to turn before it broke i was worried about the chance of getting it out. What you think about drilling straight through and using a smaller bolt/nut with a washer.
