battery removal

i had one brake in half ... after 2 years
one thing i did remember ... put main neg on last

Also, take a picture of the battery placement before removal. If I remember correctly, normally the negative pole goes to the inside (I think). That'll prevent you from pulling one or two batteries to flip them around to line up the cables...

i couldnt find the right strap so i used the strap down loops on the top with a ratchet strap through them lol .. i checked the 1st on real good at an inch off rack before i picked it up and lifted it out ..still have 3 to do tomorrow . then do some cleaning maybe welding if needed on the battery tray.. guess i should check the motor nuts and cables while the batteries are out
thx for all the info
this is the loops i used

Got them all out today and found some rust spots .. it is my fault but I just learned about the baking soda and water for clean up .. I sanded the rack down with a zizwheel and cut some metal strip that lay in the angle iron .. I'll weld them in tomorrow.
