So last saturday I wanted to get the Oliver 1755 fired up for a little maintenance, it got up to a balmy 17 degrees so I figured it was a good day to get her moved. Hit the preheater for the prescribed time, turned the key and it turned over like it was full of molasses, batteries are new from this summer so I put the jumpers on it for 1/2 hour or so, still turned slow. Now I start to wonder what could be wrong. Check the connections, they look good, clean and tight except for one little detail, I use two 12 volt batteries in the old girl and had forgotten to hook one of the cables up. Worked great all summer when it was warm, but not enough to whirl her over in the cold! Felt like an idiot when I hooked them both up and it fired like it was scared not to. OOOPS I am not quite 50 and already having senior moments!!! DUH! :>) Lets hear some more dum dum moves. If you aren't afraid to make fun of yourselves!!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
