If you think about 2 stroke versus 4, there are several things which are different - torque and power curves probably the most important. Now think about the situation with regards your tractor - if the 2 stroke engine has to rev twice as fast to get the same power, you would be expecting that tractor to be travelling twice as fast too. That is like up a couple of gears, or whatever, comparing with your 4 stroke equivalent. I will add that for any engine the higher the specific power output, the narrower the useful torque band - so more gears needed. Things are not very equal when deciding to change just one 4 stroke engine for another, let alone different types of engine. I am sure a large 2 stroke engine of similar power could be used satisfactorily, but not a small one, revving itself (and the gearbox input shaft) at 2, 3, or more times the design for that original tracor.

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
