   While on a familiarization trip thru my downloaded owner/operator
manual for the antique Yanmar YM1500D tractor I just bought (mfd
1975-79) I saw a fuse box ... so I decided to go exploring ! And I found
that fuse box , and I popped  the cover off , and I found ... fuse wires
on screw terminals ! OK , it ain't exactly state of the art , but it
fills the need . I also found tucked in the cover a small plastic
package of what I assume to be fuse wires . What I don't know is what
the amperage rating of these wires is - I'm hoping one of you might have
an idea  . Eventually I will replace this fuse box with a unit that has
plug in fuses , but for right now I'm going to clean up the original and
see if I can get the lights/horn/turnsigs working ...

   At least no previous owners have butchered the wiring ! I ordered a pair of cheap analog VOM's last night , all my cheap digital units have died . Sure wish we still had a Radio Shack ! The fuse connections need cleaning up but that's just one more little thing . I'm hoping that the cooling system was drained - they recommend straight water because it's a  thermal siphon , no pump - and isn't full of holes . A surprising amount of parts are still available but I don't really want to buy a 250 dollar radiator !
