I've got a '51 John Deere G NF and it's mainly a "fun" tractor for me, but it'll do most anything, just not too convient with no live power or live hydraulics, but I've got a homemade 3 point set up I can put on in about 1/2 an hour and it works fine with a blade to plow snow or spread gravel or loose dirt if you don't get in a hurry and take it easy...tractor has 9 kinds of power and traction for this job. It'll pull 3-16's or a 12 foot disk anywhere...or an average size older baler and wagon or most any pull type combine or 2 row picker and wagon...turns about 60 horse on the belt. But it is strictly a man's tractor....nothing easy about it and it burns lotsa gas. I've got a '48 GW too, but with the wide front it's as awkward as all get out compared to the NF '51 G. Nice on soft or plowed ground though...fun too really. I love the challenge of these clunkers... M's and H Farmalls are fun too, I've had and run the wheels of a couple of them too. Little easier to run and quiter than the putt-putts, but not as much fun or challenge....get boring after while. For a utility tractor I think those little Case jobs were pretty good and if you can find a decent one they are usually cheaper than a Ford or Ferguson.....

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
