Well I knew real quick I didn't want anything to do with it. It's not nearly as clean as it looks in the pictures and it would be a complete PITA to work on. It is a big 6 and half the engine is under the floor boards. The tranny sticks about a foot out the back of the cab.

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
