Mark........Electronics 101. redux If you use your OEM 6 volt frontmount ignition coil in a 12 volt conversion, you will need BOTH a 12 volt to 6 volt reducer AND your 6 volt frontmount coil STILL needs the infamous "ballast resistor" which is mounted on the back side of the dash panel. Wire BOTH resistors in series like flashlight batterys so that the voltage from the ignition switch goes thru both the RU-100 and then thru the ballast resistor to the frontmount ignition coil terminal. If you do it correctly, your frontmount ignition coil will have about 3.5 volts (3 min, 4.5 max) at the coil terminal with the points closed, and battery voltage with ignition points open. Any other voltages will give you sparkie problems. You might want to check the "archives" at the top of this most excellent N-Board and read about the trials and tribulations of the "electrically challenged". Please read and understand I am 12 volt advocate for the right reasons, that said, so far I haven't found the right reasons for my eazy starting 6 volt 52 8N. Remember the 6 volt mantra "clean, bright, and tight"........Dell

Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
