Out on a Magnum this morning. First thing it took five minutes to figure out I had to push that rubber plug to open the hood. I had forgotten the trick. Starter would try but could not turn engine. Put load tester on and had plenty of capacity to the starter. Hooked volt meter between starter frame and tractor frame. Meter read 6 volts when trying the starter.

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
