The starter will only draw the amps it needs, the cold cranking amps is the rate the battery can put out only if the load demands it. The only rubs with the larger battery is finding a place it will fit and allowing that it might take longer to charge it with the small tractor's small generator or alternator when the battery has run down from setting. The larger battery seems to have better life, partly because it has greater capacity and the tractor starter never works it hard. One time I rigged up a small battery trickle charger limited to about a quarter of an amp. I got three years out of that garden tractor battery. Its possible the small battery maintainers may do as well. When I replaced the engine, I bought a rope start engine and eliminated the battery completely. So I've not looked using the battery maintainer. Gerald J.
