I remember one winter in the 1980's Dad was working ground early mornings and late at night when it was frozen. Sometimes Dad would take my brother and I with him before we went to school. Get up about 3 AM and go to the shed to get the JD 8640 and chisel plow, tractor was plugged in and ready to go. Would go for a while, but once the sun came up field work was over.
There was a field in particular that took quite some time to get worked up, as the trucks, combines and tractors had really compacted the ground during harvest. I don't think we ever made more than two rounds without having to stop, usually due to the shear pins breaking in the chisel plow. Those bolts were HUGE, but that hard ground was tough. JD 8640 would be moving along and then it would start to bounce, look back and see chunks of soil the size of refrigerators being heaved up from the chisel plow! Usually that broke the shear pins, time to stop for repairs. By that time, sun was up and it was over for that day.

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.
