You sure wouldn't know there was any trouble here near the Colorado River... Huge, jacked up SUV's pulling double and triple axle trailers with big v-8 powered speed boats on the highway, and of course hundreds of those boats roaring up and down the river (for no purpose other than entertainment).

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
