I don't understand many of the replies to this post. I am 63 years old and have had virtually every size and make of automobile. I have never had an older car that would get the gas mileage some have stated. Today's cars are much more fuel efficient, have more performance and last over 200K A vehicle the size of the old Chevy II could be made today that wold easily get 30-35 MPG in town, but it would not have enough power to satisfy many. Todays cars are too powerful and too heavy to get substancial gas mileage.
In conclusion, here is something else to think about--Nearly all auto manufacturers produce a vast majority of front wheel drive cars. This type vehicle can be mass produced much cheaper then RWD When they first came out, they boasted about them having more traction. WRONG they give you more control! My I.H. tractor want even come chose to backing up a steep hill, but it will lift the front end going up forward. What about a riding lawnmower? It will do the same thing. They also bragged about the FLAT floor. Show me a front wheel drive with a flat floor made today! I may be old fashoned but I drive a rear wheel drive autommobile.

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.
