15 days, Ice Storm of '98, in January, in Northern NY on the Canadian Border. First couple days weren't bad as it was in the high 20's and water was flowing. The it cold. I was working 12-14 hr days and coming home to water all the stock. Had no wood supply, no generator. Fortunately we did have a hot air wood furnace in the basement that would funnel heat through the house. I had friends at work that we're firewood fanatics and gave me enough to get through and a neighbor had a PTO generator for his farm so I could fill 55 gallon drums with water to supply the stock. Worst night I was still hauling water at 1:30-2:00AM, back up at 5AM.
I now have a 25Kw PTO genset, a Honda gen and a Coleman gen, plus I have my wood. Never go through that again if I can help it. It may sound funny, but thanks God my mother in law as here at the time. She thrived on Depression Era living and helped keep my poor, housebound wife sane!

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.
