Howdy, Boys: I am about to start operating my narrow front Super H on the farm (there are some hills) and I have a strong awareness of the ability of these row crops to tip over. In giving it more thought, it occured to me that anything which lowers the center of gravity will reduce the probability of tipping over. So, wheel weights should make some difference, even though they are on centers with the rear axles - right? Also, it seems to me, a 3-point hitch (pulling an implement) would also reduce the chance of tipping. Example: it I was pulling a brush hog with a 3-point, the tractor would also have to lift the off-side of the mower, which is down on the ground, in order to tip - correct(?) - whereas with a drawbar hitch, the tractor would already be gone before the clevis twisted enough to lift the off-side of the mower? Seems like the 3-point, in that case, would make the tractor somewhat less likely to tip. Some of you "gray-heads" with experience, please tell me if I am thinking right about this.... Still, I'm not taking any chances with me or my tractor. I have a lot of respect, and fear, of the high center of gravity of these old row crop machines. Thanks. mike

Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
