..without much going on, I want to know- what is the deal??????????
When it got cold, I could smell gasoline. I found the shut off on the sediment bowl on my WD45 dripping. I remembered, from my days doing many service calls on these tractors, no standard wrench would fit the hex on the assembly, where it tightens into the bowl base. So I grabbed my metric wrenches, and none would fit! Then I grabbed my little 3/8"x7/16" open end wrench. It wouldn't fit! Then I dug out a little old cheapy end wrench I had ground to fit, and tightened it up.
Then I was recalling how I was frustrated, again, years ago, that the hex on the bowl assembly itself(where it screws into the tank) was also non-standard. Somewhere around here I have a very expensive Snap On 18MM open end wrench I bought just for this purpose. (This was before I had any metric tools.)
Does anyone know why this is? Kind of like, any spark plugs I have used are metric thread.

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
