My grandfather was a building contractor back in the '20's and 30's. Dad showed me many buildings he built around Yelm, Washington. He said grandpa would give most anyone a chance to prove himself, on two conditions: He had to wear suspenders, and couldn't smoke. Said he could never get much work out of smokers or belt guys, because they spent half their life either hiking up their pants or rolling a smoke (no one could afford store boughts in those days).
Would like to have met him, and my other granddad, who was an early radio guy. Both died the same year I was born.
I did have a step-grandfather who was as good a grandpa as you could ever want. He and grandma came out for Sunday dinner every Sunday. One day when I was about 7 or 8, I was throwing rocks up in the air and "batting" them with a stick. "Don't you have a baseball bat?" So he took me in the woods, found an ash tree about the right size, cut it down, and carved me a perfect baseball bat that afternoon. Told me I couldn't hit rocks with it, or I'd wreck it- so he bought me a couple of baseballs, too.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
