I certainly appreciate your views and know with the correct guidence and tools to work with a 12 volt conversion can be accomplished which is very useful for a lot of folks. What I have been seeing is that a lot of new comers to this tractor collecting think that unless they install a 12 volt system on their tractor that are still in the dark ages. There are several folks like Bob M and John T along with several more who truly understand the electrical principals that need to be incorporated into a system when converting. It just sort of bothers me when I see a newcomer to the forum with their first tractor like a Cub, Super A, C, etc. with those 113 or 123 engines that feel they have to convert to 12 volts because it is talked about so frequently on this forum. It was just a cold and icy day here in Missouri yesterday and I was in my PC room enjoying the warm furnace heat with not too much to do and having formed an opinion over time due the number of posts concerning problems with the 6 to 12 volt conversion. I knew it would be controversial but I just wanted some of these new folks to know that 12 volt conversions aren't in the mainstream of what you have to do to be accepted in our group. I truly like original appearing tractors (maybe because it takes more effort to keep them that way) and those old IHC original coils look so different then the modern ones they certainly stand out. I have a considerable stock of 6 volt components I have picked up in various places over the past several years (mostly working used or NOS stuff from dealer closeout auctions) that I probably will never have to buy anything except batteries to keep my 6 volt Farmalls running for the rest of my lifetime. Thanks again for sharing your views and trust you have conversions which are trouble free, Hal.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family’s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
