If you know for a fact I, as an A&I dealer am making 100% markup, I need to change my pricing structure. The reason you only got half of your money back and had to pay shipping both ways is because the markup is so slim on these parts, if the guy gave you back all your money, plus paid to ship it back, after paying the incoming freight, plus took time to look up and order parts, ad th etime to box up and return the parts, he would have lost $20.00-30.00, maybe more. Would not take too long with this kind of practice, he would be gone and out of business. I wish the buying public would realize we are not multi million dollar companies like Walmart, making 50% gross profit on everything. We usually make .25-.30 on the dollar in profit and to just keep our doors open, paying rent, insurance, utilities, employees, etc, we have to average 30% gross profit. So, if you have to pay a little for your mistake, then please do not take it out on us, we are only trying to make a living, so out children and family can eat, just like you do when you go to work evey day.

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.

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.
