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
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
