Let's try this again. Was almost ready to post this when power failed for a split second. Lost it all.
Had a real head scratcher with a Ford a few years ago. 'Bout drove me bonkers. Wife would drive to work, park car, and come out from work to find a flat battery. Cut to the chase, only happened when she would get out, go around to passenger's side, open the door, get her bags off front seat, lock door, and close door. What was happening was that voltage regulator in alternator was sensing voltage drop through dome light, turning on field in alternator, and discharging battery. Had had alternator rebuilt by friend who ran a backyard alternator shop. His new regulator(s) were defective. Went through a couple more before I went to junk pail, found old one, and put it back in. Problem solved. What was so difficult to figure out was the intermittent nature of the failure, and wife did not make connection with opening passenger door, and battery failure discovered after work. I discovered it while testing with ammeter connected between battery and positive cable, just happened to open passenger door, and BOING!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
