I have a S1700 International in the shop, we are rewiring it and repairing some minor fire damage. It belongs to a local farmer and the last few springs after sitting in a damp barn all winter it has been acting up with one circuit or another having corroded connections in the fuse and junction boxes. Rather than bringing it over and letting us fix it right he had been spraying WD 40 all over everthing to make things work. Well his luck ran out 2 weeks ago as something got hot and it started a fire in the cab.

Moral of the story: Do not spray WD40 in the fuse box and its cheaper to fix it right even though some of my customers do not always see it that way.
