When you lift up the back end of a VW Bug, the axles will hang down, and when you put it back down, wheels will be at an alarming angle. We did that to the head cheerleader's VW at lunch hour, then we all stood around looking and pointing until she came out. We pointed out the problem, and began speculating on all the dire things that may have happened.
She called the local mechanic- he came down, looked at all of us and rolled his eyes, then told her to pull ahead a few feet to see if there were any noises- of course, it was fine then- he told her not to worry about it. He took our ringleader aside, and told him he wasn't charging her, he was charging us- "take up a collection, and have 10 bucks at the garage by close of business tomorrow. You've got to pay to play." We did, without protest, because we were so relieved that he didn't bust our chops. Nobody wanted to be sideways of that girl- she was just too cool.
My sister also had a VW- she found out, the hard way, several times, that a VW was exactly 2 inches shorter than the distance between the Jiffy Lunch Cafe and the power pole in front of it, in downtown Tenino, Washington. Took her two hours on one of the occasions before she could find enough guys to carry it back out. She learned to park a block or so away.

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.
