Oh tell me about SLOW John Deeres and the road. This house hold has been involved in Girl scouts for around 35 years and counting . Back when the girls were little the wife became a troupe leader and dear old DAD worked in the back ground . As they got older they wanted to make a float for the parade each year . Ok fine , i barrow a couple nice hay wagons from my friends and i will barrow my Accountant's one 530 John Deere and my S/MTA to pull them . First year we put the floats together at the shop five miles out of town . (first mistake ) The day of the big event everything is ready and we have our assigned spots in line . I know the Deer is SLOW so i drive it in first (god a guy could fall asleep on it ) With only two places to pull off to allow traffic to pass i got a lot of being #1's from people when i could pull off . It was starting to get windy and this was not helping the decorations . BUT the girls could fix it easy. then we went back to get the S/MTA to save the decorations we wrapped the whole wagon with a tarp and set sail . The MTA is turned up to 2000 RPM and is setting on 16.9x38's and on the road she can run at around 28 MPH . Once the peraide was over at the west end of town everybody and everything looked like rat deserting a sinking ship , All the little girls meet there familys at the one small strip plazza and my one friend and it took the wagons to the op-en lot near the house and stripped the stuff off then headed back to the shop . Just five miles I went ahead and got to the shop and WAITED and WAITED and NO John Deere . I though maybe he broke down , so i grabbed a chain and off i go with the MTA to drag him back to the shop . I was a third of the way back to town when i see him coming over top of the one hill with a line of cars behind him probable stretching back to the city limits . I cut off the one dirt side road and went east then south and back west covering about three miles and still beat him back to the shop. . The next year we built the floats in the back yard and i hauled the tractors in to town on the trailer.

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.
