I've tweaked and flailed with engines and machinery all my life.
I'm a firm believer in the right to repair and I support farmers in this instance without question.
If I paid such an obscene amount of money for a tractor I should be able to do what I wish to it. Brick it and let it sit, cannibalize for parts, or simply drive it around the field. Its this stance by Deere that has driven me away from even looking at their product, though I am not a farmer. It is the principle of the thing.
My old Massey 65 has no PIDS or motherboard and is easily understood. It simply runs and runs well every time so far.
No wait on a mechanic from what amounts to a big box store that doesn't know or care what my problem is and most importantly, no wait when time is critical.
I think Deere is shooting themselves in the foot with this one.

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.
