How did they hold up for you all? I look at it to that in the 60-70's they might have been good but so was the flathead v8 in the 1930's. By the way I sure have changed a lot of them!!! lets keep it clean and cival!!!
My family's business had a 1964 Econoline Van with the 300 six in it that we bought used in the late sixties. It had been used (more like used up) by an electrician and when we got it it was knocking louder than any engine I ever heard. You could turn the steering wheel almost a complete turn before the front wheels would move. We figured we would drive it until it blew up and get it rebuilt. Us delivery guys(I was 16) were not very kind to it as it was expected to blow any minute anyway so we really dogged it. Well, every time we left we thought we would be walking back but that van never failed to come back under it's own power for the 10 years we drove it and we never went into the engine. We sold it to a friend of the family (with full disclosure). He rebuilt the front end and he drove it for several years until he passed away. His widow then sold it and it was still knocking just like the first day we got it. But I was always impressed with that engine, it was one tough old bird. My grandfather always had a 300 six in his Ford cattle truck and I understand why.

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
