I now live on my Grandparents farm built in the 20s. It was bare land only when they purchased it, they built the barn and house and all buildings, had to clear trees and hand dig tile.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
