On about Nov 1 1985, I was way down back running a one row New Idea corn picker. I had an empty wagon and a few rows to finish, and was expecting no one. Weather was extraordinarily hot and dry. So much so that the area below the husking rolls, and above the shelled corn saver was filling with husks. Stupid stupid stupid reached in one too many times, and the husking rolls caught my left hand from below. My fingers went up through and started around to go down through the next roll. There the rolls plugged, the slip clutch hammered away, and I was going nowhere. What seemed like forever was probably 15-20 minutes. I'll never forget looking over my left shoulder and seeing Dad show up on a tractor, and mouthing are you caught? I could make this a real long story with all the details, because I remember many, as I think about it. But the ending is that my squashed hand came out whole. The plate where the husking roll drive slip clutch fastened to the shaft needed fixing as with all that hammering it broke loose. The repair was slowed by only having one good hand, but I was able to finish the field the next day.

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
