DING! DING! DING! We have a winner, folks!
I've seen this with a lot of the local businesses here in my area. The last name (or the reputation of the last name) means a lot. A couple of years ago my brother was parked in the field next to the highway with his combine. The brand name is not important here, but a couple of brothers, who are big-time farmers in this area, drove up to BS a little bit with my brother. My brother and these two farmers use different makes of combines. Suddenly a salesman who sells the make of my brother's combine and knows my brother very well drives up and starts talking 100 mph to the two neighbors. He gets a couple of 12 oz. refreshments out of his truck and gives them to the neighbors, the whole time shooting the breeze to them. After about ten minutes of hot air, he drives away. The humorous part of all this is that he didn't say a single word or even offer my brother a can of refreshment even though my brother has been a customer of his for over 30 years and the two neighbors have never even been on the salesman's lot. I guess a lot of salesmen and dealers take things for granted.

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
