[AT] Tractor image album

[Mike Sloane]

A friend of mine from Montreal sent me this site: 
<http://www.sharpos-world.co.uk/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=112>

It is a whole bunch of images of mostly British antique tractors, but 
you will see a few familiar ones as well. Some of you may be familiar 
with it, but I had not seen it before.

By the way, it was an unbelievable 60°F here in NJ today, and I decided 
to move some of my tractors around to make them more accessible later 
on. The Case 430CK started up as if I had last run it yesterday, instead 
of 3 months ago. The Ford 860 took a little TLC and a battery boost (I 
know that it is overdue for a tune-up and some minor engine work). And 
the Farmall Super M, which hadn't been run since October, fired right up 
and sounded even better than when I had put it away. All three tractors 
are 12 volt systems. Which brings me to the Farmall 340; unfortunately, 
the 6 volt battery just doesn't seem to have enough "oomph" to spin the 
engine fast enough when cold. Part of the problem is probably the long 
battery cables and perhaps the need for a better ground. It "popped" 
once, but that was all. I left it with the battery charge on it, and 
maybe it will start tomorrow. As much as I hate to admit it, I have a 
feeling that the only solution will be to convert it to 12 volts eventually.
