Was just reading on the another site about John Deere saying that farmers have an implied license to operate their tractors but not to repair them. Guess I'm fortunate I do my farming with old stuff. That attitude by John Deere will cost them their business. Even the government is beginning to wise up, you can't have equipment in the field that you can't fix on the spot and right now!

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
