Unfamiliar with Belarus, but sounds like
you shouldn't have bought THIS one. A
newbie shouldn't ever buy a tractor that is
all COBBLED up electrically and lord knows
where all else. You don't know what is
suppose to be right, and what is cobbled up
wrong, because you are not going to know
what right is by looking at your tractor.
How are you suppose to work on something
like that, and make it right???

I usually pass on tractors like that, even
not being a newbie.

Not sure how many cattle you have, but
cattle are not a get rich over night
project. Also not a good side line for
someone living from paycheck to paycheck
(not saying you are). As a rule of thumb,
I've always said no matter how big your
cattle operation is whether that is 1 or
100, you should have an equal amount of the
value of the cattle on ice at the bank. As
in, if you own 5 cow calf pairs, you should
have the equivalent amount of money in a
savings account at the bank. Otherwise you
could get eaten alive by un-expected bills,
crashed market, feed shortage, the list
goes on. Not that you can't get eaten alive
anyways, but if you don't have the
financial backing, and any problem like
that that comes about will likely force you
to sell out to a bad market. It can easily
turn your business adventure, into a non-
profitable one. With some financial
backing, you can turn the tables sometimes
and hold off through a bad time, and sell
when markets are better, and make the
difference between selling out and losing
money, and making a profit. An advantage
you don't have, with no money in the bank.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. 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 ... [Read Article]
