Actually, you might check out the farm supply outlets and see if they have
any 8 volt tractor batteries. If not get as many amps as you can.

In this size there are two different batteries. One has 860CCA / 1050CA,
the other has 1000CCA / 1220CA. Both have the same dimensions...I just
didn't know which one fits the CCKW starting system better.
