oldtanker --- First off, in many places it would not call it assault when one person goes on another persons property and is sent packing, it would be called self defense or protecting his own property. How do you know that he went over to ''reason'' with the heck raiser? that is pure speculation and not very intelligent speculation at that, it is far more likely that he was puffed up, full of bravado and was going to ''straighten the other guy out'' but instead he had his butt handed to him so he went whimpering to the police. As far as my statement that the police overreacted I am referring to the arrest methodology they chose, what was so urgent about a dope head taking a pitchfork to a trespasser that they needed to rush in at midnight instead of going over in the morning and getting the dope heads side of the story and then determining whether they needed to arrest him or anybody else? What would be your first action if 4 or 5 cars pull up in your drive at midnight? I know I will be reaching for a smoke pole and then going to find out who it is and what they want. If it went down the way it was reported it was overkill plain and simple. The SWAT team syndrome that has caught on big with most police organizations the last 20 years or so has escalated thousands of relatively minor situations into major calamities all across the country resulting in the unnecessary deaths of many police officers as well as innocent bystanders as well as contributing to the overall impression of the imposition of a police state in the USA. From reading the reports there seems to be little doubt that this fiasco resulted from a poor plan on the part of the police, they are lucky that the guy had a crossbow instead of a high capacity firearm or they might all be dead.

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.
