Gotta start with the saying above our computer desk"Success is NOT to be measured by how much material wealth is posessed.but whether you are able to CREATE AT WILL what you NEED" well I"m going to put a fuse block in our 706 I.H. Most tractor fires seem to be started with the electrical circuits. No in line protection,old wire thats brittle & chaffed. I ordered a fuse block and notice there isn"t a buss bar in between the circuit fuse holders. The fuse block came completely void of instructions on how to power up the block. We (my son & I) are going to install a Cab with interior lights, lights atop the cab. rear lights and the original front cowling (weak Lights)that glow yellow. Must be original set up from the factory. Putting a 72 amp alternator on the 706 as the generator is shot. We purchased the tractor(our 1st one ever) and all the light wires was cut. The guy that owned it must have had no power to any thing but battery power to the distributor. Now you can well imagine that any information on how to power up the fuse block would in deed be welcomed. From reading the posts, there is a lot of knowledge to be shared. In my mind there MUST be Buss bars inside the fuse block so as to avoid a whole gob of wire wrapped together to gain individual circuits. I"m willing to bet that one of you fellows did what I am trying to do.Why there was never a fuse block installed at the factory is beyond my imagination. I can state that neither one of us is farmers but have need for a reliable tractor. We are installing a schwartz loader that didn"t come off a 706(as we were told) but some other year I.H. Now thats a chore. New tangs, new cylinders etc,I must explain that we are superb welders and metal workers. Not much we cant accomplish with a great deal of thought, and one heck of a lot of PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL. So as not to sound as we know it all and as you can see by this post WE DON"T. So now it"s your turn to teach an OLD(73year old)dog new tricks .Will be lookin forward to your suggestions and comments. THANKS

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
