2 years ago in the Halloween ice storm, the oil drain unscrewed from the 4KW gen, first hour of first day. If it didn't die, it would have used 1&1/2 to 2 gallons an hour at best. Improvise! Rewired the furnace burner into an extension cord, and another line to the fridge and floor lamp in the kitchen, out the hatchway into a window of an old caravan, 1KW inverter plugged in the cigarette lighter. Not constant running, but house stayed warm, food stayed cold, 4 days, 7 gallons. Number crunchers on here said it was technically impossible, but I don't care, pulled it off once, all ready to do it again next time. Another small inverter in a car kept the phone and credit card machine going at the shop.. so the only hot food in town for people with an electric range. The 440 for the freezers? Agh... well.. whatever was getting soft, was going to be the special of the day!! .. don't even want to think about keeping 3 phase going with gasoline or diesel... pray for 20th century civilization to return quickly....

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. 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.
