I tried to teach my kids that when they first got their wheels.
I got them "Rent-A-Wrecks" off the bulletin board at work. Folks fresh out of college had a steady pay check coming in so they bought new and sold the old. Lot of folks from the Dakota School of Mines, and Michigan State to name a couple.....we don't have rust down here....ugh rough getting used to that.
My philosophy was that wife and I had our wheels and they were there in working condition (with gas in the tanks) and I knew the condition. I fixed the kids reliable transportation and if they tore up it was on them.....well that sounded good in theory, but I'd get this "well dad, I have to have a car to go to work to earn the money to pay (you back) for it, insurance, and gas.....that pay back thing never happened and they kept breaking-wrecking them.....wife was on their side....you know the bit: "If mommie isn't happy the house isn't happy."

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.
