   Snag to All   
   Fuse wires ? Really ?

     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 .   
      I have been bitten by The Tractorbug . And it feels great . I gotta   
   get this one running well so I can do some much-needed and well-deserved   
   repairs/maintenance to Rusty , a 1982 JD 317 . He's been a great little   
   tractor , but he just doesn't have the (m)ass to get the needed traction   
   . This new tractor will be able to drag logs out of the woods that would   
   just laugh at Rusty spinnin' his wheels futilely .
