The old mechanics that I started working with where all pranksters. The best one was when they rigged up a magneto to a work bench that was close to the walk door into the shop. They took a window weight and a small cable an wrapped that cable around the impulse on the magneto with the weight hanging off the bench. They then stuck a nail into the mag just far enought that the impulse would not turn. They ran a wire over to the door knob from the coil on the magneto this wire had some slack in it. They then ran another wire to the door and the nail. So when you would open the door the wire would pull the nail out. The window weight would spin the magneto. The coil wire carried the spark back to the door knob. I swear that felt like your arm was going to come off when that spark hit you while you where gripping than door knob.. LOL Those guys would cackle about getting some one for days.
Sad thing is I am the only one left. They all where old guys when I started there 28 years ago. Great bunch to work with. They all taught me many things. Not all of them about mechanical stuff either.

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.
