It's well on the way to happening here too. My local coop was once the largest in Arkansas. The last couple of years have been tough and the future is questionable. Once there were 4 tractor dealerships, 3 car dealerships, 4 feedmills, and the coop. All in a town of less than 4000. That doesn't count all the grocery stores, service stations and small country stores. Now the town is twice that and only 2 tractor dealers are left, 1 car dealer, no feedmill and just a couple grocery stores and no service stations. The bigger the farms get the harder it is for small businesses that rely on a larger farmer base to survive. It's hard not to get political as the the reason why. When the largest farm was 500 acres you had 20 farm families on 10,000 acres. All of theses families and small businesses carried a lot of clout with their political representatives.Now there may only be 1 farmer on that acreage and some extreme southern employees. The farm voting base has diminished.

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.
