Welcome to the gasifiers club!! Nice looking job. My father built one several decades ago much like yours, based on an Imbert Gasifier. His is mounted on an E27N Fordson. My Dad operated several such units in his native Holland during WW2. After coming to Canada in1950 he farmed and ran a small welding and repair shop. As such, it was sort of a gatheering place for farmers waiting to have their repairs completed and the stories naturally went to whose tractor could pull what.My Dad responded that he had one that ran on"...fence posts and tree stumps..."Not believed by anyone (No one in here had seen these at anyntime) he vowed to buid one himself. Once I bought his farm in the eighties,He had the time to build one. The Imbert plant had long disappeared (after the war, farmers were once again able to buy gasoline) so he had to rely on his memory to make one---he had rebuilt his units inHolland several times because the heat would eventually thin the metal and burn it out. Several tries later, he was able to make one run and has since taken it to a few local shows. Some people still refuse to believe the tractor runs on wood! Great to see your inventiveness and skill in making such a unit. Thanks Ben

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
