I hate to say it but the iron everybody wants you to use would end up weighing more than the tractor when done. It's only a light little Ford of about 3000LBS. I would attach the verticals to something better though with a gusset in the bottom corner for stiffness. As for the ends sticking out my brothers 2940 has ends sticking out a wee bit like you have. I can not say if it is original or not since he bought it used and was there when he got it. You are not likely to tip it over unless the bucket is up pretty high and that will keep it from rolling over completely upside down. As for weight and size of iron they need to look at some of those old Stiegers the roll frame in those cabs must have been just for looks. I doubt if any of them would have held up under one of them rolling upside down. Those weight a good 10 times what you have. Jim is probably right about the jerking with a chain for a test though what you use to jerk the chain would have a lot to do with the durability of the frame. Say jerk with a pickup or other tractor would probably tip the tractor over anyway.

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
