You probably have the Peak 1.5 or 2 amp model PKC0AF? I've seen them at $22 to $38. Might be fine. I never tried one because Black & Decker does not provide full specs or a full manual, on-line for it. It's called "semi-intelligent" and I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I think it's what teachers used to call me in high school. I've had nothing with trouble with anything Black & Decker has sold the past year from Vector in China.

Today's Featured Article - 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
