Hey guys, so I got the draw down to 4.85 amps on the multitester. I replaced the condensor with my old one and I"m good. I also had to change the ammeter out. It ended up pinning itself so bad it got pretty stuck. I unstuck it with some firm taps once I got it off. The overcharge is gone. I did a specfic gravity test on the battery, and it came back real low. New battery and I"m back in buisness, draw and overcharge are both gone. The old battery was a cheapo, but still under warranty, less than a year old, so I got my money back. I should have never went cheap on the battery in the first place, especially when it gets bounced around through a field. Thanks alot for the help, I really appreciate it. I"ll be starting on the "A" soon. It needs wired, hoses, carb work, and some other minor stuff. I think I"m gonna stick with 6 volts on the A, what do you guys think? I"m in NW PA but its in a machine shed so temps shouldn"t be much of a problem. Plus I"ve heard other guys starting on 6 in well below 0 weather. The generator and voltage reg are all there, and I kinda like the idea of keeping this one factory. I put an alternator on the super m mainly because there was no generator when I got it. The A is mainly a lawn mower/snowplow, so I will be using it quite a bit. My grandad always liked 6 volts on small tractors, mainly for the magneto. I know they turn a little slower, but they never gave him too many fits as long as the engine was running good. Let me know what you think, and thanks alot.

Today's Featured Article - The Great Escape - by Dave Hollrah. It all began Monday with a little baling of second crop on the lake shore field, and as I drove out past my sister and her hubby's place, this small calling sound could be heard from the general direction of their manure pile. Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
