CKain, My father was a career soldier who served 25 years. He was a 22 year buck sgt. rifle squad leader with the 31st Infantry AKA The Dixie Division or as they called themselves The Double D. He served in New Guinea, Borneo, The Dutch East Indies and The Philippines. He always questioned what you stated about the island hopping. He thought MacArthur's leadership early on in the campaign was poor. His unit, The 124th Regimental Combat Team had been in The P.I. long before Doug made his famous landing on the beach. He was slightly wounded but refused a Purple Heart because the home town news paper would publish those killed or injured and he didn't want to worry my mother or his. I am a Viet Nam vet and the soldiers, sailors and Marines of WWll have always been my heroes. I don't think we will look upon their like again. I post this in their honor. RIP M/Sgt. John C. Barnes, USA, USAAF & USAF

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.
