Replacement Tractor Lawn Mower Battery Cable Battery Cable AM123446 fits John Deere LT150 LT155 LT160 LT166 LT170 LT180 LTR155 LTR180 etc

What It Is

This replacement battery cable (OEM equivalent AM123446) connects your tractor’s battery to the starter and ground, delivering power for cranking. It’s designed for John Deere lawn tractors, including the LT150, LT155, LT160, LT166, LT170, LT180, LTR155, LTR180, and similar models with compatible battery setups.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your John Deere model and year—this cable fits the LT and LTR series listed, but not all variants (e.g., LT133, LT190). Measure your existing cable length (typically ~18–24 inches) and terminal type: this cable uses a ring terminal for the battery positive and a spade or ring for the starter solenoid. Check your battery post size (usually 5/16" or 3/8") to match the ring terminal. If your tractor has a side-post battery, this may not fit. Also confirm the cable gauge (often 6 AWG) by comparing thickness; too thin can cause voltage drop or overheating.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: This aftermarket cable is copper, not cheap aluminum, but inspect the terminal crimps for tightness before installation—loose connections can cause starting issues.
• Installation: Simple—disconnect the negative battery terminal first, remove the old cable, and route the new one exactly as the old. No special tools beyond a wrench and screwdriver.
• Gotchas: The cable length may vary slightly from OEM; pre-measure your route to avoid slack or tension. If your old cable is corroded, check the battery posts and starter terminal for damage too.
• Compatibility: Not for zero-turn mowers or older John Deere models with different terminal configurations (e.g., side-post batteries).

Should You Buy It

If your John Deere LT or LTR series tractor has a dead or corroded battery cable, this is a solid, affordable fix for DIYers. It’s a direct replacement for the OEM part, easy to install, and backed by good reviews—just double-check your model and cable length first. Skip it if you need a different gauge or terminal style.
