Guys, 2 weeks ago I was call by a guy here in Palmer Lake, CO. He asked me if I wanted his JD 112 before he scraped it. I said I would be right over and look at it. Went and looked at it and it was totaly complete unit with hydraulic lift, deck, snow blower, bar treat tires, weights, chains, and push blade. He was wanting to just give it to me. I said hell no he won't give it to me. I offered a $100.00 and he took it. Said it hadn't ran in 5 years because it was loosing compression. Took it home, took out the spark plug and poured some oil in the cylinder. Oil came out as fast I poured it in. Figured it was the head/gasket. Took the head off and sure enough, had a 1/2 gap in the gasket. Bought a new gasket and had the head plained. Runs like a champ now. All of a $200.00 invested with purchase, head gasket, milling of the head and tune-up parts. Since I don't need this unit for my business and really have no desire to collect garden tractors (only bigger tractors), I placed it Craigslist. Got a call from a gal in Ordway, CO wanting to trade her 1963 Studebaker Lark straight across for it. She sent me photo's and it appears to be in original condition with no rust or anything. It has 95 K on the OD. My question is. What would you guy's do? Trade or wait for a cash deal. I posted the 112 on the photo ads tonight so you guy's can look at it. Thanks Allen

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
