Hey Slowpoke, I agree with you 100% on the quality of most of the drawings. If you have a good quality printer though you should get at least the same quality print as you have on the screen. The biggest thing that causes problems, from what I've seen and understand of the technology, is that the mfgs., or who ever, are putting this stuff online, or on disc, using "one specific program" (this may not be the right terminology but I don't know how else to say it) , and if you don't have acess to the same program they are using then it will cause major problems. In with this are things like not being able to isolate and zoom in on details to print them specifically, not being able to fit the complete pic on the page, etc etc etc. This all comes down to what I said about the thing being formatted correctly from the start. If the stuff is scanned in properly and formatted corectly then the quality of the finished product both onscreen and in print should be as "factory quality" as a normal paper manual. The technology is there if somebody just takes the time and expense to do it right. Regardless of any of this though, like I said, I agree with all of you on the whole deal. Unlike alot of guys on this forum who mainly operate their equipment and do some maintenance to it, I work on just about anything that walks or crawles for a living. In the past 3 months I've worked on everything from a 71B Bucyrus Erie dragline to a little Speedaire air compressor, and a whole bunch of stuff in between. I much prefer paper manuals and have probably 500+ of them, but at 35 years old I, unfortunately, see what the future is bringing and am trying to come to terms with it and figure out how to live with it as best I can. If it means having to bite the bullet embrase some of the new technology and learn how to use it and manipulate it to my advantage then I'll do what I have to do to maintain access to the information that I need for my job available to me. Take care. Wayne

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.
