Those connectors aren't a great idea for road EVs, though I used them on 
my 
Comuta-Car for a couple of years and did OK.  In an ET, the stress level 
(mechanical and current) is lower.  Gunk 'em up real well with Vaseline 
when 
you assemble them, and they'll be fine, at least for a year or two.  Then 
you can re-do them with the good stuff.

I suspect that the person who had your tractor before was using some kind 
of 
 batteries with nonstandard posts - like maybe those idiotic Trojan mini-
posts.
