I secretly agree with you, but wouldn't say so out in the open. :) I enjoy helping people, not that I'm good at it. But try to help in my dumb way. Sometimes you see the same question 3 times on the same page - just plain dumb luck timing, going to get a pretty short answer if you happen to be the 3rd person asking. :) Hope people don't mind being told to search the archives a bit - I can remember a very good reply, much better than I could write, and so hate to bother writing something inferior to previous advise already here. I can't count the times I've explained what 'live pto' means - it's not a dumb question to ask, but been covered about 200 times already. This year! You know what I mean? :) I'm really attracted to a good subject line that tells me what the question is about, lowercase typing, and people who follow up on their questions. And new qustions not seen in the past 2 months. Doesn't bother me if they misspell 1/2 their words (except 'baler', that one is bamboo shoots under my nails....) or if they don't supply enough info at first, or really don't even know the info they have to know to even ask the question they are trying to ask. Just as long as they come back & tell us more - a good questioner. :) Oil types, asking what this standard lever does (HOW many times will someone ask what the postion/control lever is for on a Ford?????), or a question that was just asked within the last 2 days does grind a little. One really should have an operators manual for their tractor to identify the levers & oil types for climate and such. I guess the saw goes both ways tho. --->Paul

Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. 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
