Have a question?

Well I have a craftmans riding lawn mower and I just bought this new battery for it and for some reason it drain my battery out . I called sears and other places and they told me that it sounded like a short some where .. Has anyone had this happen before I looked around and cheaked my wires and all w/ a tester but its allright? I would take it in but Hell My gr looks like a jungle. They told me that they are 2 month behind on repairs on other riding lawn mowers.... So Can you imagine how long it will be by the time they get to mine and imagine my gr.. please if anyone has had a problem such as this please c/b.... Thanks
