I was lucky enough to start in the '06 era, my gramps had the IH dealership, and originally had a pair of gas Ms and a TD6, a three bottom for an M and a four for the TD6. When the '06 series came out, gramps kept the 706D demo tractor, trading in one M and the TD6, and our neighbor who grew potatoes bought the 806D demo. Gramps started with a 5-bottom "steerable" plow, but switched to a 4-bottom for the second year, as while the 706 would pull the 5 just fine in our dirt, he didn't like to run over 3/4 throttle with anything, so switched to the 4, which the 706 would loaf along with in L4 and not breath hard. The 4-bottom steerable was so easy, hydraulic sideshift on the hitch etc. We got a second 706D, and had a pair of 16' spring-tooth "drags" and a 13' disc, and I got most of the drag work as gramps didn't like getting off with the "stone hammer" when you would pick them up. There was a hidden old equipment yard that had been dozed out of the hillside on one of the farms, and I was snooping and discovered the old 3-bottom trailer plow and also the old 15' drag that had been retired, and wanting to plow instead of just dragging, I asked why don't we hook up the other 706 to that trailer plow and I can help? He got that grin on his face that said be careful what you wish for lol... I got loaned out several time to another neighbor who gramps hired to plow with the 706(??), to pull his 12" drag with his M gasser- just didn't seem quite fair to a teenager... BTW, that 806D pulled 6 bottoms every year and was solid as a rock

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.
