Steve thanks for clearing up my questions. When winter does finally set in, I am going to pull the batteries and put them on tenders. I already have 3 new HF tenders, I'll use them since I have them. I didn't get much done to the lift today. I put the battery charger back on the batteries. It only charged 10 or so minutes. I really don't know when it kicked off , as I was filling the first tire. I did check/air the all the tires up. Then check the H fluid, I had already put 5 gal. in the lift. I added almost 4 more today. I then replaced the rubber mat that was on top of the batteries with a new one. The rubber mat is to keep the batteries from shorting out when the steel battery cover is put on. I did not try to start the lift before or after I put the charger on. So, I lost right at 9 gallons of hydraulic fluid when the cylinder blew. I still need to work/extend all the H cylinders. I needed to make sure the tire presure was right, before getting to Wacko with the the lift. Leverage is a great and dangerous thing with these machines. Thanks Steve/everyone...MTP

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
