I worked in a Deere dealership, mechanic. One rule was never park in front of the overhead shop doors, as you never knew when it would be needed. One day just as I was opening the door, the shop foreman parked in front of it. I hollered at him that I was getting ready to take a tractor out. He said no worry, he'd be right back. Yeah, right!!!! An hour later he finally moved it, just to the side of the door, so I could get out. But I thought I gotta do something. Coffee time came. Everyone headed to the break room. After everyone was gone, I grabbed a floor jack, jacked up the rear axle, put a block of wood under it, just so the tire cleared the driveway. Then I went merrily on my way. I came to work the next day, he met everyone with a dirty look and asked who did it. Of course everyone denied it. When he went to leave that nite, he had the brand new store manager with him. He told us after he figured out what was wrong, he had to undo the alarm system, open the work door, get the jack out, remove the block, put the jack away, lock up and reset the alarm system. Of course everyone had a great laugh at his expense. So, I asked him why he went to all that trouble to remove the block, as his pickup was a 4x4. He could have engaged the 4-wheel drive and drove off. He said he was so embarrassed to have that happen with the new manager there, he didn't think of it. I never did own up to doing that. A few years later, I did tell the manager I did it. He laughed so hard I thought he was gonna cry. He said the guy deserved it!!!

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
