to jump it we couldnt get enough crank it would turn over slowly.Any ideas


It's only free if you decide to make a planter out of it.

Test the battery at an auto parts store after charging it.

Slow cranking could mean the bushings in the starter are worn out.

Carefully feel the starter, starter solenoid, starter cables, cable
connections etc. Whichever feels the hottest, or smokes the most, is likely
the culprit.
