Randy: My apologies on not getting the name right. In all fairness, you guys use handles on YT then e mail me using your real name. By times it does get a weeeee bit confusing, especially when I get about 50 e mails per week, many of them from folks we never see on YT. Having said this, a lot of parrents in the past 60 years have over used certain names. Just for example, "Hugh", in my 6 years at YT, I don't think I've seen more than 1 or 2 people use that one. There are a lot of Randy's and Mike's, in fact they are here by the bushel, "just the name tag," not suggesting you guys are tiny. On your charging problem, I only used small lamps and diodes for about a year on one tractor. Now, I'm willing to bet money I have 1,000 times the minutes in that one year, as I have in my 3 push buttons, lifetime, and two of those now have 15 years on them. I don't know about you, but something that usually doesn't work gets me far more excited than pushing a buttom every time I start the tractor. Besides, my SA never excites on it's own, 130 does about 50% of times and 140 about 90%. You suit yourself, I'll stick with the items that work 15 to 25 years without repairs or parts. Don't get me wrong, Bob M has an excellent system if you can find a supplier, that sells the percise diode or light. I will however chalange, it is not as trouble free as my system. These are 1950s tractors, they do need warm up time, thus there is ample time to push the button. It's not like your modern auto, whereby you can pull it in drive quicker than you can get your hand from the ign key to the shift lever, and be down the driveway before the starter stops turning.
