Bill Mostly agree with you, but have a couple points of info. My newer measuring tapes have 1/2 meter & 1 meter marks at a bit over 19 & 39 inches respectively. Changing building materials to metric would make the newer material not fit with inch sizes in existing structures. I admit, some bolt/nut applications now use metric, causing lots of hair pulling. When Celcius designed his thermometer He marked the freezing & boiling points, then marked off 100 equal spaces between. . Fahrenheit designed his with 0 at the coldest he could imagine, then marked off equal spaces, not sure how high he would have to go. Freezing happened to be where he had indicated 32, boiling at 212. In avaition, the "meter" part of altimeter means measuring devise, could also be called altitude indicater. Same as voltmeter, speedometer, ampmeter could be called voltage, speed, or amperage indicating devise. Not arguing, just the way our language works. WJ

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.
