Yesterday I rode with my husband to drop something at a machine shop. While there, he charged our E4A magnet. Prior to charging it up, one could easily remove the steel keeper bar. One little zap later...and the guy had to really pull in order to slide the magnet off of the steel frame of the charger. The actual zap reminded me of when my husband strikes an arc when welding - I was not expecting to see sparks, so that surprised me. After the charging, the keeper bar just slammed onto the magnet. I was amazed that one little jolt made such a big difference.
The guy has a 1925 Ford on full steel and the steering wheel has wood on it. That was really neat to see. He told us that the first Ford tractors used to be bad for tipping over backward and killing people because the drawbar is so far foward on the tractor (its way up close to the axel). He has an extension added to his drawbar for safety reasons. Though he told us that Ford redesigned the fenders in such a way that they were supposed to support the tractor if it tipped and keep it from going completely over backward.
It was a really fun shop to see. Next time we go there I will ask him if I can take a couple photos.
