Okay, just to make it clear that I really couldn't care less which tractor was the first with electric start, I'd just like to know. ANYWAY, I had read at one time that a '39 Massey Harris was the first tractor that had the availability of electric start when they used a Chrysler engine for their power. The Chrysler engine had electric start and using it in a tractor was a no-brainer. I left it at that. Well, the tractor calendar that I have had a '49 Allis RC tractor for the July photo and it clearly has electric start. TractorData says that the Allis Chalmers RC was made from '38-'41. So my question is this: Did Allis have the electric start in '38 or did that start in '40? Or, did somebody drop a later engine in this '40 Allis RC calendar tractor? Or did somebody else have electric start before the '39 Massey? If the Massey truly was the first tractor with electric start, who were some manufacturers that had it shortly after? Was Allis obviously one of them?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
