I'll add a few observations and opinions here.... First, let me say that my OPINION is that ANY driver of a vehicle larger than a Hummer should be REQUIRED to have some level of training and qualification to drive a large vehicle. I specifically refer to RVs and U-haul trucks. Anybodt can go out and buy a big road tractor and a 53-foot trailer and convert it to an RV, and then drive it LEGALLY on a regular driver's license. HOWEVER- does it take any different level of skill and qualification to drive a 75-foot-long combination vehicle whether it is a commercial truck, a farm truck, or an RV??? Perhaps it should not require a CDL, but it should require at least a minimal level of training and skill. Maybe an endorsement on the license for larger vehicles. More of a safety issue than a money issue. Most farmers can outdrive the average OTR driver in my observation anyways, so passing minimal qualifications should not be a problem.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.

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.
