I'm with Dean. Look at your electrical. I have a 1660 Case combine with the Cummins engine. Bought it used and PO put new batteries in it without asking me (I wanted it switched to a pair of 6 volts when I got the chance, he bought Deere batteries also arrgghh) any way I suffered with that for about three years and finally switched batteries and found the pos cable was green at one of the battery terminals. Fixing that helped a little but still usually needed a jump in the morning esp in corn.
Last year middle of corn wouldn't turn over at all. Pulled the starter and then pulled the cover BINGO commutator was a mess. Put a CNH rebuilt on spins good now.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
