I wouldn't worry about trying to read peak HP. It is very easy for someone aggressively trying to get the needle into a bounce. This will show much higher in a spike than the point at which the engine would simply die. Basically the max or peak HP reading will not mean anything to you anyway. At that point the engine could not do any more and running a real load at that point will eventually damage something. Also many uses of the pto are more rpm senitive. Meaning pulling the tractor down to 300 rpm will not run the machine at the correct speed. In order to read PTO HP of a tractor:
-Warm both the tractor and dyno to operating temps with a light applied load. Fully loading a cold engine is a sure way to get a leaking head gasket.
-Open the throttle to full position.
-Apply a load slowly untill the dyno's tachometer reads the rated rpm for that hp scale. Usually 540, 1000, and 600.
-Run at this point for 15 minutes watching the engine temp so as not to overheat the tractor.
-You will ususally be able to gain a couple of hp on the scale after it has run for some minutes.
-With the dyno's tachomer on the proper rpm read the hp of the appropriate scale. This is the pto hp of the tractor and is usually the maxium usable hp. Although you can drag the engine down further you will reach a point where any unknown load in use will kill the engine. In order to read the hp at anything other than the rpm's listed on the dyno's guage requires a conversion chart supplied by the dyno's manufacturer. Those scales on the dyno's guage are calibrated for that rpm only and are not accurate for any other rpm.

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. 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
