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.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
