I have a 56 300U that I converted to 12volt a few years back (with help from the good folks on this site). I put new brushes in the starter a few years back as well. A few weeks ago I was running the tractor on a slight incline while splitting wood and ran the fuel level down and got some junk in the carb. I could tell the tractor was not happy so I started for home. About 200 feet form the barn she died so I walked her home with the starter (shame on me). I was patient with this process however and made it back to the barn. A few days later I got some time so I cleaned out the junk from the carb and went to start her up....Apparently I had left the key on and battery was dead. Charged up the battery and went to fire her up again and nothing. Got out the meter and checked everything out all was well. I was racking my brain and finally just decided to tap on the starter. Got a little bit of noise from her but not much more. I pulled it off the tractor and put it straight to the battery and nothing. I opened her up and found I had totally worn down one of the brushes. My question for the experts is how come only one wore down so bad and not all of them? I know I put the screws to her walkin it home like I did but nothing I can think of tells me why it only wore down one brush. Thanks!

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
