In order to take stuff to the scrapyard here, you have to have a card like an ID card (photo ID) that is updated regularly. Has a barcode that is swiped at every visit and stuff that is iffy is recorded. If joeblow shows up with a little junk like pots & pans and obvious trash in small qtys, he can leave the stuff otr maybe get a couple bucks. Every town has a recycle spot with dumpsters for small stuff.
Used to be that folks just set what they didn't want on the sidewalk in frt of the house and others could help themselves until the scrapper came by on his rounds several times a week. Then the scrappers started being slick by handing out flyers to everyone with a number to report "thieves" and a reward offer that ended joeblow and left everything for them. They'll take it off the street for free but charge you to take it off your place.
Another reason I offered to clean a neighbor's place up for him and got some experts on here all wadded up.
I guess I been gone too long.... or just led a sheltered life...
Stuff didn't get stolen where I grew up and you very seldom hear about stealing in my area now. I am wide open withfence chargers and batteries scattered all over on pastures.

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.
