When my older brother was 19, he went out one morning to grind feed , in those days (1964) we cribbed our corn ,and the local elevator came out with a truck and ground your feed . We had an elevator with an old ford tractor hooked up to run the pto . Well it was very cold that day,down around zero, and the old ford wouldn't start ,no problem , we had a 560 diesel in the barn with the engine heater plugged in , started right up.He drug the old ford out of the way and hooked up the 560 ,of course the pto shield wouldn't fit, so he just moved it out of the way . Hey, he is only gonna grind one little batch of feed, and it is cold out,and the grinder man has other stops to make, and he has been around this machinery all his life,not a big deal. Well when he finished grinding his feed and stepped up on the drawbar to shut off the pto his pants leg got caught in the pto (he had on a pair of those insulated coveralls,not carharts but those old soft baggy kind)and away he went. It took his arm off at the shoulder and tore his leg up so bad that he still has to wear a leg brace .He spent the next 5 or 6 years in and out of the hospital,going through one painful operation after another. So it don't also take a rookie to make a little mistake that you will pay for the rest of your life, even if it don't kill you.

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
