It takes both to start the truck....since they are 2 linked 12volt batts that make 24volts. The deuce will run without batts even hooked up once it is started.

I have had this happen more than once, and each time it was one of two things.

#1 - Dead batt that would not hold a charge.

#2 - Fried battery terminal that was "hollowed out" on the inside from electrical arching. Basically, the lead terminal & the bolt that hold the cable on it are not tight & it creates an arch that literally melts the lead around the bolt. You can not even tell unless you remove the bolt and look inside.

Good Luck!
