Dead Battery

So my very old Clark has a dead battery. I use it very, very seldom. I got it for a song since it didn't work. I got it because......well, I never had one before. I fixed the electrical problem. I'm sure I don't have the correct charger either. Now, what to do? I thought of putting in a 110v or 220v motor and pump. I have no idea what that would involve. It doesn't move far at all as I have a small garage and small driveway.. I thought of scraping it but I kind of like the old girl. I don't have a ton of money to invest. Mostly because I don't have a way for it to earn it's keep. It is a small walk behind with no reach option. It reaches up about 10 feet I think. Right now it sits in my small garage and the forks hold my welding table. I'm in Vermont, U.S.A.
Does anyone have suggestions for this HUGE paper weight that with a half decent battery could be a real asset to me or someone? Oh, I'm not sure of the model #. I found AU1393 on a tag.
