Diana: I've just finished reading this thread. This 350 diesel, and I'm sure you know this, is one of the few times IH went to an outside supplier for and engine. Until you strike a guy like George who has one most of us IH folk know very little about them. You'd probably get better info from Cockshutt or MH guys than IH guys that never had a 350 diesel. That Continental is forign to most of us. Every diesel tractor we were used to up to 350 days were gas starts. The ones that followed were all glow plug engines. By the way I have folowed the other thread. I must confess I was quite surprised back when you sent the tractor out for wiring and other service. I could see sending it to have the chloride removed. At the time I felt you were quite capable of doing most of what needed to be done with the tractor. I could see you removing starter or generator and sending off for rebuild. However the wiring harness, items like air cleaner, switches, heat in manifold, etc. I felt at time that along with YT help you could have done most of it. Seems like you are about to do most of what you sent it out for anyhow. These old tractors are economical as long as you can do most repairs yourself. Soon as you start sending them out for every repair, then you may as well be running new tractors. Shops are full of mechanics that have no respect for old machines. A lot of them would sooner destroy your tractor than fix it. I would suggest you give Tom back the battery. All the years I've run dual battery systems, be they 6 volt in series or 12 volt parallel, I've never put a used battery alongside a new battery. If it was two 6 volt I always used the good left over battery in one of my 6 volt gas tractors. If it was two 12 volt wired parallel the left over good battery went to car or pickup.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
