I wouldn't call the lead resistance a measurement error as it's common practice to "zero the meter" prior to measuring as zero was highly dependent on the voltage of the internal battery to operate that 50 ma meter. Since current technology is digital, unless the battery has just crapped out, you have no measurement error as such. Since there is no knob to turn, you just record the "offset" in your brain when making resistance measurements and besides, once you get over 100 ohms, what's .4?
They were 20k on the DC scale but 10 on the AC scale. Course AC was usually used for power line measurements with zero source impedance, so to speak, so it didn't matter. Other thing was the measurement accuracy was like +/- 5 to 10%, probably due to the resistor types used in the internal voltage dividers or the D'Arsonval meter movement itself. The HF uses 1% or better Metal Oxide resistors which are resistant to moisture intrusion which the old Carbon Composition weren't and changed value with age due to absorption.
No! On the issue with input impedance of the meter and your tractor.
I do recall mentioning errors in measurement methodology as a problem in the Simpson and other Scalar instruments.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
