I have an electrical drain on my 4010 JD. I purchased this 4010 Diesel (1963)at an auction this past summer - around July. I used it several days to cut hay using a disc mower. In the summer, I noticed what appeared to be a "weak" battary, but it always started. This winter when the weather got cold (as low as the 10 degree F. but generally about 30 degrees) the battary would not turn over the starter - just kind of clicked. I had the battaries tested and found that one of the battaries was bad, got it replaced with a new one and fully charged the other one (which was 13 months old). It fired right up. I didn"t run it long, say 30 or 40 minutes, and did not use the lights. Then I let it sit a week, went back to the farm and tried to start it - unfortunately, I got the same "clicking" I previously experienced. The battries were dead. So,l know I have a drain somewhere, but where? Someone told me it could be that the altnator went bad, but another guy said that he doubted that would cause the battery to drain. Another guy said it might be that the ignition switch (this is one of those "spring loaded" keyed switches, not like the 4020"s which have a switch to turn on the power and a separate black starter button) has a short in it (I can test it with an ohm meter). Before I start checking various problems, I thought I would see if there is anyone out there that has experinced a similar problem and could offer some suggestions on how to isolate where the problem rests. And, does anyone know of an internet site to order a new ignition key switch? I"d appreciate any help. Thanks, Rick

Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
