I have an electrical drain on my 4010 JD. I purchased this 4010 Diesel (1963)at an auction this past summer - around July. I used it several days to cut hay using a disc mower. In the summer, I noticed what appeared to be a "weak" battary, but it always started. This winter when the weather got cold (as low as the 10 degree F. but generally about 30 degrees) the battary would not turn over the starter - just kind of clicked. I had the battaries tested and found that one of the battaries was bad, got it replaced with a new one and fully charged the other one (which was 13 months old). It fired right up. I didn"t run it long, say 30 or 40 minutes, and did not use the lights. Then I let it sit a week, went back to the farm and tried to start it - unfortunately, I got the same "clicking" I previously experienced. The battries were dead. So,l know I have a drain somewhere, but where? Someone told me it could be that the altnator went bad, but another guy said that he doubted that would cause the battery to drain. Another guy said it might be that the ignition switch (this is one of those "spring loaded" keyed switches, not like the 4020"s which have a switch to turn on the power and a separate black starter button) has a short in it (I can test it with an ohm meter). Before I start checking various problems, I thought I would see if there is anyone out there that has experinced a similar problem and could offer some suggestions on how to isolate where the problem rests. And, does anyone know of an internet site to order a new ignition key switch? I"d appreciate any help. Thanks, Rick

Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. 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
