Several years ago, I was leaving the old threshers show at Antique Acres, north of Cedar Falls, Iowa. A light rain had come up and left, dampening everyone's spirits at the end of the show day. There was much hurrying to get to cars, etc..
On my way to my car I saw a fellow with a JD G unstyled puller loading. He had a single axle flatbed (no tilt) truck with three fairly wide planks (like bridge planks, maybe?) about 12-16 feet long lined up for the tricycle tractor and I saw him give the old G full throttle and charged up those plants a good speed.

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.
