I wasn't going to tell this story,but you brought it up. I went to put some round bales out one afternoon this last week. The gas gauge on the Oliver 1600 showed a little bit of gas in it. I dropped one bale in,backed out and got another one and the tractor quit. It started right back up and quit again. I took the cap off and could see gas in it,up on to the curves in the bottom of the tank. Should have at least had enough in it to run. I took the line off the carb and had nothing. I took the sediment bowl off,ran a wire up I it thinking there was ice in it since it was colder than a mother in laws heart. Still couldn't get anything. I unscrewed the whole thing out of the tank and gas was pouring around the threads before I got it all the way off. By now my gloves are soaked and my hands were getting numb. I got the 1365 and dragged it backwards,bale and all,all the way around in front of the toolshed. I went in and got the hair dryer,got an extension cord and heated the neck of the sediment bowl. Still no gas. I put it all back together,got a gas can,got 5 gallons out of the barrel,put that in and it ran out. Now I've got a little bit of a leak in the sediment bowl,I wasted almost an hour fooling around in the cold and it was just too low on gas for it to run out the neck.

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
