The 970 seems to work just fine for us. It replaced an old Rex wagon that my dad bought used in the early 80's. That thing was worn out and wasn't worth trying to keep the gearbox together, so we parked it.
A few years later I tore it apart, and now the running gear is under a Meyer's wagon (busted that gear box last year) and the stringers are a part of a haywagon now.
We bought a 920 last year at my 2nd cousins estate auction. Paid $400 for it, and that was the highest priced one of the 4 gehls he had (a 910, and I think 3 920's. This was the first to go in the line up which we knew would be more $$$, but I knew something nobody else at the auction knew- It had a brand new apron chain installed a few years prior. My dad and I went and scoped them all out, and by looking at the chain we determined that this was the one with the new chain so we were pretty determined to get it.
While doing corn last year the steel over the apron drive shaft caught the chain and tore up a couple bars, but we fixed that and lined the floor in poly. Replaced the steel over the shaft, and all the steel in the front for the cross conveyor. Heck of a wagon now, just took a little more $$ to get it there. Still much cheaper than buying from a dealer.

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
