Hello, Being new to tractor ownership(At least big tractor)I have come upon a problem or two with my new to me 1066. It seems to exibit an alternator problem. I had noticed a slower spin of the starter the last few times I used her much like a pickup with alternator/battery problems. I'm kind of the don't fix it if it ain't broke group but the other day she wouldn't turn over so now I guess it's broke. This tractor has two 6 V batteries in series(one on each side). The one on the driver side showed 6.08 V and the one on the passenger side had 4.55 V. At the time I didn't take the time to jump it off and I don't have a charger that does 6 V( something to aquire for the collection). Today after work I brought the pickup along side and jumped her off. After a littlecruising around the lights got dim so I broke out the meter to find that the Big post on the alternator to the frame was only putting out 10.54 V the smaller two prongs on the top were 10.5 V pass side and 5.8 V dr side. This leads me to the question, is the the same alternator that's on my GM pickup or do I need an expensive one that only the tractor dealer will have? Next question. How does the draft control work? The lever seems to be spring loaded. I have to pull it and hold it if I want to use the draft.Is this how it's suppose to work? Thahk you for your input> Rich

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
