... you could not pay someone to do a basic truck repair. So I do almost 100% of my own tractor and equipment repairs or I would be broke. I have two trucks from the 1970's and my pickup has started stumbling on occasion when leaving an intersection. Sometimes it does not want to idle or idles rough. The other day it stalled in the middle of a farm lane and I had to leave it...would not start. It is a 1976 C-20. With road vehicles, I like to use a licensed mechanic. Yes, I fix a lot of stuff but I am not a mechanic. Forum posts, YouTube, etc and I get it done but I prefer someone who knows their stuff do the road vehicles.

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
