I use this forum and receive great tips and info. regarding my TO-20. This web sight is a godsend for those with problems. Is there or should there be an attached site that catagorizes problems by tractor, model, problem area and possible written in solutions? The author of Yesterdays Tractors could write a manual and I am sure it would sell big time. I would be first in line to buy one. Just think of the amount of questions and helpful answers contributed to this site since its beginning.

amen to that. the info in some of the operator's manuals for some of these old tractors is somewhat outdated (ie 6 volt when built and 12 volt now) also some of us out there are not mechanically inclined enough for the IT manuals

The 6 volt system is just as reliable as the 12 volt system if properly maintained. The reason for switching to a 12 volt system is: the 12 volts will push enough amperage through the old neglected wiring to make things work. If the 6 volt system were properly maintained and the proper battery cables used ( "O" gauge vs "6" gauge for 12 volt systems)the tractor would start if -30F as my tractor will (tho not every time I admit). I follow the owners manual for maintaining my 1953 TO30, as my father did when he bought it new. The engine's never been apart, uses no oil, has good compression and everthing is original and working well. you see, it's not outdated, just old. I once spotted a TO30 for sale and stopped to inspect it. It had been really messed up with a 12 volt system, auto headlights, auto tires on front, welded up in many places. The guy asked $800 and I just walked away from the junky mess. Please don't condemm these fine old machines because someone didn't care for them, or know how to fix them.
