Friend came by asking directions to a tractor parts place that sells Polaris ATVs. Asked what he needed and he showed me the brake master cylinder that was frozen up. we talked a while and I showed him some of my old "toys". I said bring the cylinder to my shop and we will try something. He had been soaking it and trying all kinds of ways to get the piston out. A new one costs a lot more than he wanted to pay. I screwed a grease fitting in the outlet of the cylinder and he pumped the grease gun about 3 times and the piston popped right out. He was able to clean everything up and use it. I told him I learned that a few years ago on my 1912 Fairbanks Morse 1 HP engine with a very stuck piston. Soaked it for a month with no progress. Filled it with oil through the plug hole and bushed in a grease fitting. 4 pumps of the grease gun and the piston freed up. Runs great now. Richard in NW SC

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
