Not just a JD thing, but all equipment dealers are really interested in is selling new equipment, and servicing the late model equipment that the have sold. Dealerships don’t give two hoots about some guy that buys used equipment, and drags it in expecting them to make it like new. Particularly if there is little chance the customer will ever buy another piece of equipment from them. There’s no money in that, and it’s not their racket. Their business model is selling New equipment, and providing warranty and service on the equipment they sell. That is why their shop charges are so high, they don’t want to fix old stuff.

And the companies that manufacture tractors and equipment call most anything over 20 years old obsolete, and no longer support the equipment with parts. It really tics me off, but this seems to be the way it is.

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
