Lest we not forget, there has to be somebody that is (hopefully) knowledgeable about whatever you are looking up on YouTube or Google to post the "instructions" in the first place. Having said that, there is a good reason that many skills are vanishing. Lack of demand. So, if one becomes a skilled machinist, where does that person find a job that will pay him enough to live on? Nobody is willing to pay a skilled worker to sit and wait for his skills to be needed. How does one survive in the meantime? Let's say a guy opens a carburetor repair shop or another specialty shop specializing in some "lost" skill. How does he make a living in the meantime? How many folks will be coming around for carburetor work? People that are really proficient at their skills learn that from a lot of experience. The less demand there are for a particular skill set, the less likely you will find a really proficient repairmen for your particular need. So, while some skills are dying out, there is not enough demand to keep them alive.

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.
