Not trying to nitpick here, but the average per capita income is much lower than 40k/year. The average HOUSEHOLD income is 40k/year. Our household makes a touch more than that, but not much. We have a comfortable life, and we don't go without anything we need. We buy lots of stuff we don't need. We have $ to have fun once in a while. Life is good. I buy USA whenever I have the opportunity. I patronize by local businesses even if it costs me a little more. I have lots of foreign made stuff in my home...and I don't lose sleep over it. I don't think you can blame our current state of affairs on any one thing....as long as there is money to be made, big business will go after it. Yes, someday the USA won't be the richest nation in the world, but no amount of money can ever replace these beautiful hills, our small town way of life, and the pride in knowing we live in a country where we are free to worship as we please, and work where we please. I am proud to be an American not because I think we are superior, but because I know that the American spirit will never die.

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.
