For one thing, welcome to YT. We have a few chest thumpers on here but most of the guys are pretty level headed. We used to farm 240 acres with a tractor a lot smaller than yours. If you are going to grow hay you don't need to worry about ripping it deep. There is no need to rip it deep. Ripping will leave little trenches in the soil that will remain rough forever after you seed it down. If you rip it deep at all kinds of directions your soil will end up as dry as the desert if you don't get plenty of rain. A moldboard plow will turn under whatever residue you have on top and it won't leave lines in the soil like a ripper. Then after plowing a disk and spring tooth harrow and drag harrow to get the surface nice and smooth. For 14 acres you might not want to mess with adding weight because you do not want the tractor heavy and making deep packed down tracks if it is to be seeded down and not worked again for years and you don't need a heavy tractor driving on your hay ground when you are cutting and baling later on. Again, you want your hay ground smooth. If you can find duals to put on the tractor that will give you a little more traction plus floatation to keep the soil compaction at a minimum.

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
