It was the night before Christmas and Santa Claus was about to wrap up another year of delivering goodies to all the world's children when he flew over a farm in the Midwest. To his surprise, he could see a man dressed in rags huddled against the back of a barn, shivering in the cold. Santa's heart was struck by the man's pathetic apearance and so he reined in his team and settled gently to the ground beside the barn.
"Ho Ho Ho!" he said as he approached the poor fellow, latern held high. "I'm Santa Claus and I'm here to grant you a Christmas wish."
The man was incredulous and could barely speak through his numb lips. Santa knelt beside him to hear better.
"Perhaps you would like a warm home to live in, or some winter clothing?" Santa tried.
The man shook his head slowly. No.
"A hot meal and some butter cookies with a warm cup of cocoa?"

The man raised himself up on one elbow and rasped in Santa's ear. "How about a three point adapter to hitch a JD posthole digger on a '59 PowerMaster, a four bottom for a '53 Massey and an block heater for my 580K?"
Santa jumped back in horror. "A tractor nut!" he exclaimed. "No wonder you're dressed in tatters and yo mama makes you sleep out on the hillside. You brought home another old ironwheeler didn't you?"
"Onward Dancer!" he shouted as he jumped back in his sleigh. "Man don't even know you can't put a JD auger on a '59 Ford. There's a limit even to my power."
And so he exclaimed as he climbed out of sight. "What an idiot, and to all a good night!"

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
