I was hauling hay that day. I had just gotten a new pickup the year before and it was the first I had that had a working radio. We listen to the launch and the the shock of what happened. We where going to the Quad Cities with that load. It was a long silent trip. My wife and I both hoping that the crew some how had survived.
It really bothered me that there where two women on that flight. It just seemed worse that they died. I know all life is special but it bothers me much more when women and children die.
It was even worse that night at the supper table. My younger kids had seen the shuttle launch at school. They could not understand what was going on. The teacher was at a loss at what to tell them. The school just sent them home with a note for us parents. It was hard to explain to them.
Just thought we should remember the ones that died to explore space. There have been a total of 21 men and women lost in the US program. There only has been seven USSR deaths in their program. I just found it odd in that I always felt that NASA had a better safety record than that. Actually the USSR lost fewer people.

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.
