Good for you Martin! Glad it worked out. Everything goes around.
The last one I pulled out - the phone rang at midnight. A guy I knew said his buddy was stuck about a mile from my house on an old forestry road. A little while later the stuck guy called, but wouldn't give me his name. Against my better judgement, I went out to start the tractor, and it was raining. 630 John Deere. Sopping wet, I got back to where they were stuck. They were liquored up pretty good, a man and a woman, married, but not to each other. She was worried about her kids that were home, asleep in bed. He wasn't worried about anything. I had hay forks on the tractor, and I had to pick the tractor front end up to get enough traction to pull their Suburban up the hill - couldn't pull them down because they were slid up against a tree trunk. Got them to the top where we could all turn around, and I gave them a blistering speech about parenting, drinking, adultery, and bothering people in the middle of a rainy night. When you get home from an escapade like that, you don't just flop into bed and go right to sleep, you gotta put the tractor up, undress on the porch, shower, and then you'll lie there reliving every single second for the next couple of hours. It was the last night-time pull for me. My son has a four wheel drive wrecker, and he can fool with them. IF he wants to. . .

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
