When I was in High School the word got out, don't mess with Mail Boxes...it's a federal offense. Many ways to try to make them idiot proof but remember if you succeed in making something idiot proof the world will respond by making better idiots. I have only had problems with one of my own mailboxes. The first house we had in Wisconsin was an old (1849) farm house, the village grew and encroached the farm, eventually the farm was subdivided into lots. We bought the farm house, we were one of the first to move out into that "subdivision" the village wasn't very good at getting the developer to build the darn roads. He wanted to wait until the lots were sold then spend the money. We ended up setting a mailbox before the road and curbs got set. Even had about a year with curbs but no blacktop, this required re-setting the mailbox so the mail driver could reach the box as he couldn't drive up on the curb/pan. First winter after it got reset (and about 4-6 weeks after they paved the road)the village snow plow driver took it out. Village president said they wouldn't pay for it cause it was on the right of way and not where it belonged. We got into a shouting match, finally told him I was appealing my taxes has we didn't have a road and according to the village and the mail man there was no way for me to get mail all year and my taxes were based on a hard top road and full services. The DPW installed the new box the next day, the beautiful part was they installed it, if they hit it again they couldn't claim it was in the wrong place, never had problems after that.

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.
