    Was in AZ. driving this week end and when I got back to the property I forgot I had turned the head lights on for safety driving on some of those out-back road. Have automatic day time lights on the cars. So there I was ready to leave and the stomp button had no juice to it.
    Below is a photo of the battery getting charged also there is a photo of the green 52 sitting and waiting.

    The '52 looks pretty nice and appropriate to the surroundings .

    I bet a simple push and 2nd. gear bump start would have gotten you going again ~

    The body shop that just fixed my '69 C/10 left the key in the accessory position for two days so it was deader 'n a doornail when I went to pick it up , I just got a jump start and made darn sure I didn't stall it , by the time I got home two hours later the battery was gently , correctly and fully charged up .

    The 52 is going to need more than a second gear pull or push. the last own had started replacing things and never finished. Clutch linkage is missing for one. Someday soon I'll take off a week ad spend it out there working on it and some of the tractors needing service and or parts.

    I would have had to get Virginia to use one of the tractors to pull start me that land is very flat and the sand is soft so a push by the heel and toe express was out of the question.
