What Kind of Battery for a 1994 Simplicity Landlord Hydro 13 Garden Tractor?

Interstate Batteries

• Remove the battery from your 1994 Simplicity Landlord Hydro 13 Garden Tractor and take it to a hardware store or repair shop that sells Interstate Lawn & Garden batteries. Check their compatibility charts for matches with Simplicity tractors. The Interstate SP-40 Lawn & Garden 340CCA should come up as a match for the Hydro 13 Landlord, but compare it to the old battery to make sure it's an exact fit. Interstate batteries have excellent warranties, so the SP-40 would be a good choice.

Batteries Plus for Simplicity Lawn & Garden Tractors

• If you have a local Batteries Plus store, this is also a likely source. They will test your battery for free to determine if you really do need to replace it or if it just needs a recharge. They stock three batteries for the Simplicity Coronet 13H Hydrostatic Lawn Tractor 200CCA; these batteries are compatible with the Landlord Hydro 13. Again, check to make sure that these batteries are the exact size and voltage for your Simplicity garden tractor before purchasing.

Sears Lawn & Garden Batteries

• Sears's product line includes six lawn and garden tractor batteries, four of which specify that they are compatible with Simplicity tractors. To be certain that one of their Diehard batteries will fit your 1994 Simplicity Landlord Hydro 13, take your old battery in for comparison and disposal, since they have an exchange program. This will help to protect the environment while finding the exact kind of battery you need.

Simplicity-Allis Chamber Battery Box

• If you are restoring a 1994 Simplicity Landlord Hydro 13 Garden Tractor and it is missing the metal box that the battery fits in, look for one compatible with the Allis Chalmer BC-CA line of tractors. The Batteries Plus and Interstate compatibility charts include CA in the stock number for batteries that fit Simplicity Landlord tractors, so an Allis Chalmer CA battery box would fit that battery and tractor as well. Such battery boxes are readily available on eBay from various merchants.
