I should add that I took my Son out of preschool to help pull a broke down Ford 8n out of the woods, put him in an AC7000, (not the 1st time he operated this machine but the 1st time alone) showed him how to shut it off, started it off in 1st gear and I hopped on the Ford before the chain was tight. Once we got going he opened the throttle a bit and power shifted it up. We got up to the buildings he power shifted it back and throttled down. When we got to parking area he shut it off. I know that someone will say OMG What If!!! But it is the way most of us were raised, and lived to tell about it. If you ask him today how old he was when he started working on the farm he will tell you "I was either 3 or 4". Funny side note we were flying a puddle jumper into Grand Junction Co. pre 911 days, Flight attendant took by then 7 year old up to the cockpit and talked with pilots, they were very nice and explained how the instruments worked etc. Pilot asked, Matt you think you could fly this, He responded, "Well if I can drive my Dad's AC 7000, I guess I can operate about anything" Priceless! Cockpit meeting ended soon after that!

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
