So Guys & Gals, what's up w/ all the arguing lately on this site? Have the weather, crop conditions and impending harvest taken so much of a toll on our emotional well-being that we can no longer be civil and answer a simple question? Because a "situation" in our personal lives turned out badly, is it OK to assume that ALL others are going to be the same and therefore attack w/o provocation?
Some of us didn't grow up on a farm, using tractors and other equipment. Those of us not well versed, come to forums to learn from those that are. Not knowing about something doesn't make you stupid, it means you're ignorant of knowledge on that subject. It may mean that they don't have enough information about the subject to ask a "properly" phrased question about it. No need to berate them or beat them down.
The lady asking about her father's (3) huge tractors was rudely treated, and not just by the normally rude folks here. I was quite shocked by some of the responses, and even by some of the names responsible for those responses.
I was attacked for "politicking" because I asked if anyone knew where I could buy a part in the "Good Ol' US of A"! Was told I wasn't normal and that I needed to quit practicing "Exceptionalism"! WTH?! I just wanted to save money on freight!
Maybe, just maybe we ALL need to take a deep breath and relax some. If a post offends you, and is not directed @ you specifically, maybe it'd be best to just move on.

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.
