    Help identifying plow

    Thank you gentlemen, I knew I could get good info here. I do believe I’ll pass on it. I’m not so interested in fixing something as I am using it.

    Help identifying plow

    Fellas, I have the opportunity to pick up this plow for $250 but the owner doesn’t really know what he has. Can you tell me anything about it? Particularly the size.

    OT - Cool prototype tractor

    Wonder if I can still find the optional laser canon?

    OT - Cool prototype tractor

    I ran across this while perusing YouTube today: https://youtu.be/Pkiwxjm1z10 Cool in and of itself, but the similarity to something else struck me.

    SEAT TIME - 4th Cutting

    Great pics and looks like fun, but I’m with my dad on this one: I don’t want anything to do with bales that are small enough to be moved by hand...

    Handy tip - Not necessarily N-Related

    They aren’t $100 any more apparently. I can buy a LOT of bolts for what they cost.

    Handy tip - Not necessarily N-Related

    Usually pasture, that sometimes includes 6'+ high johnson grass that occasionally has unseen obstructions.

    Handy tip - Not necessarily N-Related

    Like many here probably do, I have a rotary cutter with a shear bolt clutch. I also have more than one tractor... Rather than keeping the replacement bolts on the tractor, I used self-drilling screws to fasten a 50 cal. ammo can to the deck of the mower, and keep the replacements, as well as the...

    1952 Ford 8n block troubles

    That seems a really odd place for one to crack, especially a crack that long.

    Secondary resistor with 6v coil

    Quick update: I picked up a 1.5 ohm resistor and installed it, but I haven't had time to do more than install it and let the tractor idle for a while. I'll post another update when I get a chance to give it a good workout.

    Secondary resistor with 6v coil

    Bruce, I must be missing something. The 3.7 ohm resistance plus the 1.7 ohm HOT resistance of the ballast resistor = 5.4 ohms. That seems about right. Admittedly, electron theory makes me a bit cross-eyed, so help a fella out. :)

    Secondary resistor with 6v coil

    Didn't need to? My post on the resistance of the coil and secondary resistor was in reference to this post, made a while back: http://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?t=1356909

    Secondary resistor with 6v coil

    I should add, that the secondary resistor was added downstream of the OEM ballast resistor. I knew better than to omit that one. Been hanging around here too long... :wink:

    Secondary resistor with 6v coil

    The resistor was 2.5 - 2.6 ohms, as measured with my Klein MM1000. Coil was 1.1 ohms. I did not include the OEM ballast resistor.

    Secondary resistor with 6v coil

    Since my 12v coil went bad after 12 mo., I decided to take a different tack and go back to a 6v coil with a secondary resistor inline. I picked up this resistor and spliced it in. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CV607H6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The resistor...
