The ground wire is something you hope you never use, but if needed you will be mighty glad it is there, preventing a fire or more likely a bad jolt or death from electricution.
The neutral wire is needed to complete the electrical circut. We say it is neutral, but it ctually is a carrier of electricty, and any metal surface connected to it can have an electrical charge...
While they both end up at the same place (to ground away the electricity), they serve _very_ different jobs, and cannot be safely interchanged back & forth. Doing so negates the ground wire (only there to provide a safe place for bad electricity to go) and means you don't have any saftey at all in your system - every metal surface not is potentially electrified.
If it were a water system, you could see the difference between the hot and cold water lines; even tho they both come from the same water supply line into your house. One stays only hot line, other stays only cold line.....
Electricity, both the ground and neutral wires go to the grounding buss bar, but they are doing very different jobs along the way, and can't cross back and forth. Again if it were water, you'd have tepid water, neither hot nor cold, if you plumbed them back & forth....

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
