Showcrop, if you read my post carefully it was meant to imply that our ALTERNATIVES to fossil fuels are being taxed or artificially increased in price...
I don't want to see our country in trouble, and I agree that our fuel is cheaper than most other places in the world... I have no problem seeing $5 fuel if that's what it takes for us to pursue CLEANER alternatives that will help make our country SELF SUFFICIENT energy-wise.
I just personally believe that there are forces at work that are keeping us from clean alternatives by inflating the prices or taxing them excessively... such as those that brew their own biodiesel having to pay taxes on it. If I build myself a picnic table out of trees I cut on my own property, do I need to pay taxes on its value? Same concept of home-brew fuels from "waste" materials such as used cooking oil, right?
I do everything I can to conserve fuel and electricity and try to be "green" when it comes to my consumption habits. There is a point where it is not feasible for me $$ wise and I have to use what I can afford...

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.
