It's a generational thing, kids today on average don't work like we had to as kids. We didn't have computers. The hardest work some can or get to do is pick up the spatula to flip burgers. We didn't work as hard as our fathers. Our fathers didn't work as hard as our grandfathers. Life just got easier when they got indoor plumbing, cars, tractors, etc.
Don't give up on the kids yet. There are still some willing to do hard work. You just have to adapt and change the way you train them and work them. Going from flippin burgers to digging ditches or loading grain sacks or hacking weeds all day with a machete all day doesn't happen overnight. There is an adjustment period. Just have to work with them and supervise them. We didn't have OSHA around when I was a kid either. The adjustment period applies to both the boss and the worker. It's a teaching, learning, and adjustment experience for both of you. People have bellyached about work forever so you learn to deal with it. You also have to learn to deal with the dopers and alkies cause they are all over the work force. Once you learn to manage their behavior, they will work and respect you for making them work. Except the ones that just can't handle physical labor and quit. Good luck.

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.
