If most farmers were older they might remember when gravel and some paved roads just went all to h-ll in the spring when the frost went out. I can remember several days when our road out to the highway ( E.Sterling Road, Moscow Twp., Hillsdale Co., MI) would get so soft and badly rutted we had to put our milk we regularly sold in 10 gal. cans on a platform on the rear of our Farmall H and take it to the highway a mile and a half away,(US 112) where the milktruck could pick it up. We grocery shopped (no too much actually bought in those days anyway) at a small store at this intersection the same way because there was no getting out with a car to go to town which was another 4 miles west on the highway....(a little far for the tractor...even with a heathouser). School bus couldn't get through either so this high school boy did some extra farm work and chores instead.... Now this same road (60 years later) is a state designated all season, well built, paved road so wide it hardly ever even gets blocked by snowdrifts and if it does it is plowed out by County plows within one day or less after the storm. This road now handles the heaviest vehicles all year around with no apparent damage.

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.
