I was going to start cutting soybeans today until on the last going over of the combine I found the belt for the unloading auger drive on my old JD 95 Corn Special was about to brake. Looked like it had been cut, So ok I take it off and call JD to see if they have one or if I had to order it. Much to my surprise I was told it's NLA. What do you mean NLA ? He said according to the note on the computer JD is no longer going to support these old combines for parts. Well that's just dandy ! So now after 3 hours on the phone I found a supplier why can get the belt some ware out of Illinois for $27 and the only way I can get it other than a stock order (a week wait) is UPS Next Day Air for $39. My combine is down and the soybean are ready and now the combine sits waiting for a belt. Just my luck. Now the $30 belt is going to cost about $70 with shipping. I guess while it's down I am going to look a little closer at everything now while I twiddle my thumbs waiting. So now it's $70 for the belt and shipping and because it was after 4 pm (shipping cut off) it will be shipped tomorrow and be hear by Thursday by 10:30 am, Oh what a joy! I cant believe JD or A&I don't carry the belts for the 5 series but everything for the 100 series. Now the funny thing is A&I can get belts for the Oliver 35 525 535 and 545 as well as MF combines BUT NOT for the 5 series JD's. What's the world coming too!!!!! I feel as if I have been shunned by Mother Deere. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
