I bought a used Yerf Dog when I bought my new house. We have 1//4 mile of asphalt driveway and sit next to 60 acres of woods and fields. It was a 2-seater and it had a 6hp Tecumseh on it. We kept it for about 3 years and had a lot of fun with it. Kids got into trouble with the neighbor by running through his alfalfa field. Great way to meet the neighbors!

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
