Hey, I'm new here.
Long story but I am in the position where my little beef farm either has to get bigger and more self sufficient or sell out. I'm not working with much money, and I don't have many mechanical skills but I'm going to do my best to learn because I have no other choice (what better reason could there be?) lol.
I have a Belarus 520 that I bought cheap, it does *run* but definitely needs some work. I have downloaded all the guides and manuals for it so I have learned a lot from those.
I'm about to start working on the battery and starter components. I'm not overly familiar with batteries or electricity. The guy who got this tractor running before me also ripped out all of the original wiring and replaced it with his own wiring which pretty much just runs the two twelve volt batteries to the starter. I will have to learn more about that as well.
I would like to know any basic safety tips for working on tractors/engines. Any good references to materials or videos I could read or watch to help learn, etc. I do know some things but am operating off the principle "you don't know what you don't know" because I do want to be safe.
Thank you in advance and I'm sure you'll be seeing me post more on here as I start this project.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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.
