My wife's oldest brother died in his sleep last March. His wife asked me to speak at his funeral, she said that I knew him better than anybody. I hate speaking in public!!!! I get tounge tied, stammer and loose my train of thought, but I said I would. Norm was the kind of guy that could laugh at himself or you or me or anyone else. Everyone knew where Norm was, you could hear him laughing. I thought about it for a while and called Sharon( his wife) and asked what she thought about my trying to make it upbeat and get people chuckling. She loved it. I wrote my notes on a roll of toilet paper, and unrolled it as I went. I told many funny stories about Norm and his and some of our adventures. When I couldn't speak anymore, I had my son( Navy Recruiter) and the rest of the males in the family join me and Casey called us to attention and we saluted Norm. I was done, I sat down and cried like a baby. Everyone said I did great, I don't know if I did or not. I am VERY GLAD that I did it tho. I have seen grown children speak at their parents funeral and break up and have to compose themselves to go on. Everyone expects that to happen. Do what you conscience tells you to do and make your Dad proud of you. Chris

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.
