There is an auctioneer here who does just a few sales a year and most of the time only one of them has any equipment. Mostly just does household and houses. Any way I went to a sale of his about a year ago looking at a ford 9700. There was about 4 equipment jockies there looking at it at the start of the sale.

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
