Hi Bill, I'm the guilty joker who posted that post and thanks for showing me how darned out of line I am. Okay, you want to talk about tractors and agriculture? Try watching the hail take your crop and leave you nothing but 1/2-inch pieces of stubble for your efforts. Try watching this happen 3 years in a row. Try setting in front of that banker's desk and listening to him tell you that you are $600,000 in the rears and that your note is due and it is due now. Try watching those pot-bellies pull in your yard and load out every critter on the place, go to the sale barn and bring nothing but killer prices. Try watching that auctioneer sell everything you own & have worked all your life for and watch it go to the iron peddlers for 9 cents on the dollar. Try putting up with all the neighbors’ down-the-nose glances and those whispers behind your back. Try scratching and digging to come up with a half a million dollars to keep the wolves from taking your land, which has been in the family for generations. Try loosing your wife and family because of hard times and no money. Try driving off the place with all that you own being one suitcase full of old clothes and an old worn out Chevy pickup. Then spend the next 20 years pawing, fighting, and scratchin' & gouging to get it all paid off and to get back to square one. Try reading on this forum all those great many posts who describe how great those Regan years were. No disrespect meant Bill, but I don't think you have a clue about old tractors and agriculture. If I offended you, by golly I'm sorry and I apologize. I guess I'll just stay completely out of your little tractor club because I've been hailed out before and I'm pretty well used to it by now.

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
