It's the opinion of many on here that today's tractors won't have the lifespan of yesterday's tractors. Maybe, maybe not...A couple observations....when I was a kid long ago, in 1960, a ten year old tractor was nearing obsolescence....most had no 3 PT, or live pto or power steering as most new tractors did. In 1960, a 30 year old tractor was almost unheard of....in my dad's garage at the time, the oldest tractor I remember was one 10 20 McCormick Deering...everything else was an old Massey 30, or 8N Ford, John Deere AR of IH W4. Back then, farmers said the same thing....these new tractors are too complicated, they won't be around in 25 years.... Well, my new tractor turns 30 years old this year, and would easily sell for 3/4s of its original price of 40k. My other tractor is 50 years old, and gets used nearly every day in season. Maybe today's tractors have more life in them than we think....at least I hope so.

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
