I hear a lot of gripes about not being able to find skilled people. The long and the short of it is these places that "can't find anyone decent" don't want to pay a living wage for the work they want. Sorry, if I could make $10 an hour stocking shelves at Walmart, or risking life and limb in a hard environmet for that same $10, what do you think I would choose. I have always applied my self and worked hard in the auto repair trade. I spent 11 years in GM dealers and worked to earn my World Class Technician status. There were only 1500 people in the US recognized as WCT at the time. I quit the dealer gig because I was tired of having to fight the dealer and GM to get paid a decent wage for my tool and education investment. I used my skills and tools to start my own shop and earn what I should be for my skill level and tool investment. I occasionally get cold calls from dealers looking for talent, and frankly, they are insulting. I make them talk pay upfront so we aren't wasting each other's time. Not one of them has been willing to pay more than I made in 2002. I tell them they are offering 2002 wages, and that's their problem.

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.
