I was welding pipe in a pond bank for an old man who had been in the business of excavating for many years. He could move the most dirt in the least amount of time without hurting his machine, He had about three old Allis Chalmers. I think one was an HD17 and the other was an HD 19 along with something smaller. He had a dumb kid running the 19 who was back dragging the inside slope. This kid would drop the blade over the top and drag down pulling some of the dirt from the top instead of leaving a sharp edge. This old man yelled at the kid but the kid continued and the second yell also produced no results. He flagged for the boy to stop. He stood on the track and rubbed his hands on opposite sides of the boy's head like as if he was going to unscrew the boy's head. He told the boy to drop the blade after past the top of the berm. Thw boy startd doing the job right. I told the old man that It took a good kid to take that kind of a fuss and if the boy would not qet mad and quit or try to whip the old man he would someday be a good operator, The old man is dead and I wonder what happened to the boy

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.
