We have redone many of the so called town bought ones. Now the only way is to bend a 1 1/2 solid shaft and making a horse shoe. We then dig post holes four foot in the ground to insert the horse shoe. We place fence posts on both ends of the doors in the open position as well. The dirt and snow can get away as well as ice. And you never have to worry about bending them even with a snow scoop on a loader.
Once we built the first one for a farmer ten years ago we get lots of calls, by word of mouth. Insurance company adjusters are insisting on something simalar or no insurance. 11/2 shafting is costly, but less than the deductable on most insurance claims. The doors seem to get closed if it is hastle free, and no time involved. In one case a farmer claimed even the hired men learned to close them.
While you are working on the doors, drill a couple of holes in the face of the track so you can oil each door end from one hole. Most doors require very little effort to open and close if everything is tuned up.

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.
