After reading everyone's posts and after thinking about it this evening after work, when I go home Sunday and Monday for my days off, I am going to use the wiring diagrams in my parts, operators and service manuals and go through the wiring harnesses and get a voltage tester to see where the short is coming from. I'm glad most of you were blunt and not sugar coating your thoughts. However, the reasoning behind why I am doing this myself as opposed to having someone else doing it for me is a little complex. I have to learn how to fix it - they're arn't too many people in my part of Central Ohio that know how to fix a Massey-Ferguson and I had more people refuse and laugh at me when I asked them if they would fix (specifically about the Continental Engine) than the guys that said yes. And the primary reason, I can't afford to have the tractor hauled to the mechanic's shop (@ $80 a pop each way and thats for 24 miles). If I can't get it to run after taking apart the spaggetti, I'm going to go bite the bullet and have it sent to the shop or at least talk to the gentleman who farms my land for us and see if one of his mechanics can't help me out. The reason why I am losing my patience is because my Mom threatned me the last time with the scrapper's torch, and I worked my butt off at work to try and pay for the majority of the repairs. And thats the way it is. Thank you all for your help, I'm looking forward to my days off to try and fix and nip this problem in the bud. Christos

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
