I've gotta agree with you Red. I don't mind giving torque specs or point settings to a jobber who is just fixing a customer's tractor - a guy can't own EVERY book out there. But when you buy a tractor the first tool you need for it is a manual - both an operator's manual and a repair manual. For me it goes back to the days when I was still messing with Volkswagons. A fellow named John Muir wrote a manual for it - "How to keep your VW alive - a guide for the complete idiot." One of the things he said was to take the manual and read it - cover to cover - like a novel. That advice has stuck with me ever since and served me well. So I too admonish others to get the darned manual already and read it. As for your spelling and punctuation, yeah I see a lot of bad writing on here. But as long as I can understand you I'm not bothered by it. What does bother me is some fellow who thinks he has something to say but is too cowardly to use his own handle. Given the choice I'll take bad writing over cowardice any day.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
