Ever been so tired of a piece of junk that your first reaction when something goes wrong is to get rid of it? That new Allis Chalmers lawn tractor that we bought a few years ago has me that way. I went to move bales this morning and the wife was gonna mow the lawn. When I got home before dinner,it sat in front of the shop and just part of one yard was mowed. I got on it,it started and died and wouldn't start again. I asked her what happened,she said the deck stopped running,but the engine was still running alright.
I gave it a shot of ether and that's the only way it would run. I told her I wasn't putting one more dime in to that miserable thing. I started checking CL for another mower then put an ad of my own on looking for somebody who buys,sells and trades them who might want to take it on trade.
I went back out after dinner and started checking things with a test light,got it to run a few times intermitently. I finally found a wire that was burned in two on the electric deck clutch. I spliced a new piece in and she's out there mowing now,but one of these days,I'm really gonna be in the wrong mood when that thing pukes out and I'm gonna haul it out in an open field and set fire to it. It's been in the shop more than it's been here at home since we bought it.

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
