Looked at one of these monsters today and of course the battery was completely dead. I tried to follow the cable down to the battery but it disappears underneath the engine. I pulled plates on the feed side of the bulkhead and found nothing. I pulled the bolts on the corner control stands and nothing there either. I see a plate on the feed side that is directly under the engine and that would be a super pain to have to remove. Can anyone give me a quick lesson in changing batteries on this fine piece of engineering excellence?
I know nothing about Bomags, but did you consider making the hookup at the starter?
