I got to thinking about how many people may have bought a tractor(s) overtime and never used it for some reason or another. I can think of a couple of circumstances where this happened in my neighborhood. I had an old neighbor that died of nasty colon cancer a few years ago. The last fall he farmed row crops he traded in a nice FWA Case 3294 for a newer bigger hp Versatile FWA tractor. Sad story is he purchased the tractor in late winter and he died weeks after it was delivered only to never see it used on his farm in the field. The tractor was used in his funeral procession though. I thought that was an awesome tribute to a life long farmer. I had another neighbor that was a hoarder real bad. he bought 2 Case tractors and never ever used them. 1 was a 400 (401) diesel and the other was a 600 (611b) rowcrop, which I bought later. These 2 older Case tractors sat for years under roof thankfully, but the guy never farmed. I know he just liked to have things, just to say he owned them. Any of you know of the same type of thing happen to them or someone you know? Just wondering how much good old iron is out there like these. Kow Farmer Kurt

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. 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
