On my ford Jubilee with loader I have iron weights and get along fine. First I have axle weights, they mount to the axles behind the fenders. They are out of the way and out of sight. 150 pounds each side = 300 pounds. Next I have a set of PIE weights, they mount to the lug bolts with a special bolt adapter. A mounting plate then mounts to the adapters with the original lug nuts, these plates are about 50 pounds each side.12 pie shaped cast iron weights then mount to the plate with bolts , mine weigh about 30 pounds each times 12 plus 50 = 410pounds each side =820pounds plus the axle weights 300 =1120 pounds. I do not have a problem with traction often. Last year I rigged a mount for a boom pole on my loader bucket this puts the weight lifted another 3 to 5 feet in front of my bucket. With this set up I moved an old big block Ford engine (360) with a c-6 transmission attached. Now that did make for slow movement and the rear was light. I have photos to prove it. So if you can find cast weights , they work well. joe

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
