You guys really want clean, renewable energy sources? It's simple and easy and pretty darn cheap. Get some land and some horses and cattle and build a wood gasifier to run your gen set off of. That's the only viable alternative. No matter what you do, whether it's LNG, methane, hydrogen, miracle machines the gov't comes and seizes or whatever, you aren't go to invent something that will give you clean, renewable energy. Hydrogen is just like ethanol, it takes more energy to produce than it can make. Solar is not a "clean" energy at all. Look at the minerals involved in making the panels. Yeah, China is mining the minerals, but it's still pollution. Look at the chemicals and minerals involved in your storage batteries. Face it, there's no free ride. So if you want a genuine clean energy source, better learn to drive oxen and horses and prepare to live using about 2% of the energy you use now.
And as for the other end of it, do any of you really believe the gov't is going to let someone play with their rice bowl and cause then to lose all that tax money?

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.
