You bought a good tractor! I've got a 350U (same tractor, really). 12 volt conversion is easy. Get a GM alternator with built in regulator, take it to an automotive rebuilder and have him do a 1 wire conversion. Hook the 1 wire to your ammeter and it'll work fine. One REALLY helpful hint is to order an adjustable v-belt from a wood workers supply catalog. These are made of segments you can hook together (and unhook). LOTS easier than taking off your fan belt to put the new belt on. I've been using one for 5+ years with no problems. If you're careful, you can get it under the hood, completely hidden from the "correctness" Police that like to pick on us folks that modify old tractors. Power steering is possible, IF you got deep pockets and time to find the parts. I replaced my worn out power steering gearbox with one out of a wrecked tractor from Montana. I got a steal at $650, plus HEAVY shipping costs. You'll also need some hydraulic modifications to run it, but they're pretty simple. BE SURE YOU GET THE POWER STEERING DIVERTER/REGULATOR VALVE that goes with it. THey're darn near IMPOSSIBLE to locate seperately. (Took me 3 years to find another one). I've done everything on my tractor that you're thinking of. I've unhidden my email if you have any specific questions.

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
