Boy talk about jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. Tim; Do not let these guys make up your mind for you. You are the one that will have to live with your choice. A welder like anything needs to be trained well. It is a hot nasty job a lot of the time for the untrained that have to take whatever job comes along. A operator is the same thing. You need to pursue it all the way. Go to any large construction job and look at what the operators are doing. The skid loader and dozer operator are working in the dirt 8 hours a day. The small crane operator is working 5 hours a day. The large crane operator is sitting with is feet on the dash reading a book or napping working about 2 hours a day. And guess what...... The large crane operator is making more per hour than all the others. Besides every one that can climb in and start a skid loader thinks he can run one so the competition for employment is fierce. It all boils down to being well trained in what ever you choose from ditch digger to president of a company. By the way what is wrong with dairy farmer. I made that same choice 25 years ago and some times think I chose wrong. Remember that dairy farm has kept clothes on your back and food on your table for 17 years.

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.
