At least it happened at home. I was cutting hay about a half mile from home Wednesday,last pass across the field,the 2-105 started bogging down like it was running out of fuel. The gauge was rocking,I stopped and took off the cap,there was fuel in it. I made it to the hole in the fencerow and it died. I took the fuel line off at the fuel pump,no fuel running. I couldn't blow back through it with my mouth. I walked all the way home,got the air tank,blew through it,fuel gushed out. I hooked it back up,bled the injector pump and it started right up. Next morning,I blew it out again,from the top down this time,changed the filters and headed out to cut again,this time a mile from home. It went good all morning,but when the wife took me back after dinner,I saw a little antifreeze on the toolbox and front hood latch. I figured it must have come off the overflow tube when it was cooling down or something. She left,I went across the field and half way back when BOOM! It looked like something from a tractor pulling greatest wrecks and fires video. The top radiator hose blew. Steam and antifreeze everywhere! I had the cell phone with me this time. Called home and got the answering machine. I remembered she had said something about going to the grocery store,so I took the hose off real quick and headed for the road. I hadn't seen her go back by yet. I tried calling when I got out there,still no answer. I figure I might as well start walking,she'll either pick me up on her way home or she'll get the message and come and get me. Half way home,she still hasn't shown up. I tried to call again,no answer. I get around the curve and can see the house,her truck's in the garage. Called again,no answer. I get almost to the corner and see her walking across the yard. I put my hands to my mouth and holler "Does that answering machine still beep when there's a message on it?". She sees me and comes to the corner and picked me up.
Darned good thing I'm in better shape than I used to be.

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
