Many owners buy them at a local warehouse club store.  Ordinary golf car 
batteries are fine. 

If you can't find them, call a local golf course and ask the mechanic 
where they get their batteries.

Going price is usually around $50 per battery -- it depends on the 
current price of lead.  Don't pay over $60 each.

Hmm.  My tractor has "Fuel level" and "power use" meters.  Which one is 
malfunctioning on yours?

Check all the connections.  On these old machines it's often a bit of 
corrosion on a faston somewhere.  Wiggle everything.

If the "fuel level" meter itself is kaput, replacements are a standard 
item at golf car dealers.  I think they cost around $20 - $30 each.  Make 
sure you get a 36 volt version.  

If it's the ammeter ("power use"), I don't know offhand what would 
replace it.
