The 1655 is one fine tractor. The issue I see with that or the 2-70 is the supply is not that great. The RIGHT 3020 is a pretty good tractor even though I give the 1655 the edge. I know a fellow who is not really a JD fan who loves his 3020 diesel. It had to be good for him to praise a John Deere. When I say "right" tractor I am saying to avoid the gasoline version unless you are only running it for a few hours a year in a job where needing it to perform to full power is not necessary. I have no problem with the dash hydraulic controls (and I plowed many many hours on a 4010 with that and a F145H semi-mount) but the 3020 from 1969 to 1972 was offered with the side console just like the 4020. The 3020 SC's don't seem to bring the outrageous money the 4020 SC's do. I will go along with the guys that think the 2520 is more tractor than a 3020 but the price is substantially more, too. Living in an area where John Deere is very strong and the now-AGCO lines draw little interest would make me think about the 3020 unless the plan was to keep the 1655 for a very long time. It might take a while here to find a guy to get excited about about buying a 1655. Again, I really like the 1655 but am trying to be somewhat a realist.

Today's Featured Article - 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
