My liberty and activity is affected every time I fly,drive,or walk around.Previous to 911 I did not stand in line in the airport for 2 hours to have myself and luggage probed,searched and rumpled,sometimes 3 times on connecting flights. Not to mention the security fees tacked on to my ticket.In my case with international travel, about $100 per ticket.Since this is happening in the US,most foreign countries are reciprocating with higher Visa and entrance fees,photographing and finger printing are now the norm.I wasn't clandestinely photographed 200 times a day while in any large city. Nor did I have to show photo ID at the bank every time I make a transaction.I don't think your or my local public officials were scrambling to meet Federal security mandates with little or no money to pay for them in already tight economic times. Now taxes and fees are being raised to pay for all this nonsense. The whole thing is a great farce to give the general media watching public a warm fuzzy feeling while billions of our tax dollars are being frittered away. There was more than adequate security in this country before 911,with the CIA,FBI,NSA and a myriad of other Federal agencies that was not utilized to the best interest of the public who are now, and forever will be footing an ever larger bill for buracratic ineptitude .

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.
