If it is old enough to make you trade Power for Windshield Wipers ( Vacuum), you may not even have "Sealed Beams"...!!
They were like that until about 1952 or 1953...
Those were the days when you may not have been able to keep 20 mph and SEE out the windshield...!!!
Before 1952, the engines did NOT have "Drilled Cranks" and used "Dippers" for oiling the Rods.. trying to run a steady 45 or 50 ( at MOST) was
about all those would stand...!
The 1952, on up have pressure to a Drilled Crank and can be run much Harder...( RPM-wise..).
As for just plain old "Power", that old '51 we had would take 100 bushel of Soybeans up the hill toward Lewis Center from 315 and NEVER drop out of High Gear...it may have been still in High gear, but you were sunning 13 MPH..dropping a gear and you topped the hill at about 10 MPH..
and we thought that was pretty good..it was a lot faster than taking wagons and a tractor...!!

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.
