NY986 - Please explain your comment about people not knowing how to start a Load?
Actually the R was easy to start loads like plow, disk, etc with, Just put it in a gear about one or two gears slower than the Super M-TA would run in, ease the clutch forward until completely engaged, push throttle wide open to 975 max RPM and drop the plow or disk in the ground and let the noise hammer your ears till they bleed.
Dad bought the matching 4-14 Deere plow for the R. Pulled it two days plowing 40 acres of sod. Ended up running 2nd gear and having to downshift to low on a couple hills. Rest of the plowing was done with IH #8 3-14 behind the R. At least I could run in 3rd gear.
Neighbor across the fence had a pony start 730D. Any start of the day, first or 50th, the pony only ever got to about half speed and the diesel engine was running. The 2 cyl pony on the R would barely turn the big engine over if it was less than 30-35 degrees. Start easing the clutch into engagement at full throttle and it would pull down till it sputtered and died. The R was short a gear from the 80/820/830, 5 speeds vs 6. Not sure what happened to our R after the Township traded it for the 770 Oliver, but I know I don'the miss it. My ears ring 24-7-365 thanks to that danged thing! First day I ran it disking stalks 4-5 hours my ears rang for 5 hours afterwards. I'm sure that has everything to do with why I can't stand to listen to 2 cylinder tractors run.
I'd run the Super M-TA some the year before plowing, disking, but Dad was adamant about the R being MY tractor. Not sure who was happier when the R went down the road, Him or Me.

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
