Thank you to all who took time to opine. Forgive me for not getting into overall details of project but the question comes down to how much if any oil film does it take before clutch suffers more than can be tolerated. On the other hand I fear simply asking if oiling a new pressure plate at installation is a good or poor idea would make me look like a bigger fool than the way I chose. Since I'm unable to follow the consensus of doing the job in a few days as it's conventionally done,I'll apply oil then wipe away as much as possible without using solvent and trust it does the job. Part of reasoning behind this decision is in the 50s I witnessed many cars,trucks and tractors with oil soaked clutches from rear main leaks. If vehicle got to point it wouldn't pull,a short term solution was put the front bumper against a tree and slip clutch to burn oil off. Sure wish I had videos of that and a few other home remedies at the time. In my pea size brain it seems one of those tree pushing secissons burned off more oil than I would apply in this case. In hindsight I wounder if the county oiled some of those roads or if cars kept them oiled. Thanks again for participating ,now back to regular program.

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
