Stan, one time years back I'm riding with a buddy in his one ton dually Chevy and he goes to take off at an intersection, the 454 winds up, and we went nowhere. Clutch seemed fine, but went nowhere. I get out and look under it as he eases the clutch out, drive shaft spins, tires don't motivate so we call a tow truck. Tow truck comes, lifts the front end, we all climb in with my buddy in the middle and me at the passenger door. All was going good, we're headed down the road and round a curve as I just happened to look out the door mirror and see a set of duals literally move out from under the fender as a pair. Just as I start to shout "Whoa, whoa, whoa" the axle came out of the axle tube and guess what kind of damage that did to the fender and stuff when it bobbled up as that side of the truck hit the ground, and guess what kind of damage that did? It all started with a differential bearing that had come apart after seeing better days, no warning until I looked out the mirror. Very expensive bearing.
Stuff happens and sometimes it aint pretty. On those kind of bad hair days, its a good idea to just go get a haircut and shave.

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.
