I can agree with using alternative fuels , conserving and such. Biodiesel, I have run it, I like it, I don't like the fact that the soybean oil is about .50 a gallon higher than the diesel and for some reason it went up when the diesel price did. Now how did that happen since it is not a fossil fuel and the oil companies aren't buying it from oversees? Seems to me that if they can get the cost down reasonable then it would sell really well. Nuclear power, works great! problem is finding someplace to store all of he leftover and spent fuel. There are only so many places to dig caves and store it. If it weren't for issues like that I would seriously be all for it. Solar power, still expensive to install but if we change our living habits some it is doable. I read an article in a magazine last month where a family is almost totally dependant on solar and I think some wind power. The fuel prices have slowed alot of my trips down as well but I think it was cowman who was talking about the SUV's and motorcycles and such. My motorcycle is looking alot better now and a good rainsuit isn't that much.hahahha! Now if I can just figure out how to recharge the A/C on the thing!!!! Oh one other one. have any of you gotten the email floating around about which oil companies use imported crude and which ones don't? I normally don't even read this stuff but thought this was interesting. It is basically calling for a boycott of the importers and support of the non-importers. Stupid me started using logic here.... If the price of imported crude is the reason gas is so high then why is the price of gas at the non-importing companies the same as the price at the importing companies???? WE need to come up with a way to use BS for fuel. As much as is put out on forums all over the Net ( I am including myself in this too so don't get ill) We could have energy for millions of years!!!!! LOL!!!!!!

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
