I am glad you have backup power. I used to rely on a PTO driven 30K generator. Mainly thinking about summer storms/trees/lightening. Then in the middle of Jan. had the electric go out on one of the coldest days on that entire winter. Had to happen in the middle of the night too. Woke up to no electric. Luckily had wood heat then. So we where warm. Then the fun part. No water as we have our own well. No a single tractor would start. Even two gas ones would not. It was 20 below the night before. So I took charcoal and filled a couple of steel hog feed pans. Put them under one tractor with a tarp over it. Hooked up the pickup battery with jumper cables. Took two hours to get it to go. Could only run the well and some other things. Waterers frozen solid after the heaters shut off. Took me all day to get the livestock watered and fed. We did not get electric back for ten days. The next spring I bought a 40K backup generator. It runs on propane and will run everything but the grain system. Still have the PTO generator and several portable gas ones. Kind of paranoid after that winter.

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.
