Where do you guys get this twice engine speed stuff. Our H and the old Massey-Harris and the old Case all run about 1800-2000 rpms wide open. Our diesels all run about 1800-2600 rpm. This is in the tractors. Now yes the cars run a top of about 5000 rpm though when was the last time you saw the car or pickup out pulling tillage equipment, or pulling the planter. Yes I know back in the late 70's GM showed a pickup plowing just one pass for a commercial. My semis only run about 1500-2100rpms. They pull along at 1175on the newer one at 60 and 1500at 70 the older one runs 1600 at 60 and still only 2100 wide open. As for the gas they do take less oil per change and the intervals are shorter so that is a moot issue also. Fuel filters will cost some more than the fuel filter in your gas though the fooling around with that inherent sputter and puke about the time you need throttle and fussing with the choke to keep it running in cold weather till it warms up. I've had gassers that didn't start all that well when it was cold too. The diesels other than our 574 all started in cold weather though I religiously like to plug them in below about 20-30 degrees. It is much easier on the engine starting without that raw fuel going by the rings till it starts and the lesser cylinder wear. Also warms up much faster. As for the battery argument with the group 31 's with a stud top I need to clean them when I put them in and when I put the next set in. Nothing between times. They will be clean and working fine till they are needing replaced. 3-7 years later when shot.

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.
