Suppose it was a tractor with a power shift like in a Case 2096. Ya, you could hop in it and drive it but if you tried to slow down in road gear without slowing the throttle down and got shot through the front window, when it down shifted, who's at fault? Not following the operating manual could also void the warranty. It's not just a "bloody manual", it's as vital to a new tractor as the tires. Had they gave him a thorough education on how everything works and said the manual was missing, but on its way, would be a little different but they didn't even do that. They ignored him repeatedly saying to not deliver it without the manual and then laughed at him when he asked why. That's totally unacceptable and then to not include the top link and have it run out of fuel, just pathetic. Maybe it's his first tractor? Maybe he wants his son or wife to be able to use it? It doesn't matter. If they're going to laugh at him because he wants a manual with his $XX,000 tractor, stopping payment will get their undidvided attention. What if it specifically says something like not to use starting fluid in the manual and it's damaged because he used some. Is it his fault? Will it be covered by warranty? The manual may seem trivial but look at all the people who will pay handsomely to get a manual for their older tractors and equipment. I'm sure NH doesn't want to be named in an injury lawsuit because of a pi$$ poor dealer. The manual is a big deal! Dave

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
