My dad was born in 1898. Never saw his birth certificate. Nobody else did either. Trust. He came from SC when he found out Henry Ford was giving away money. His brothers came, too, earned some money and went back to farming. Dad was not too good a farmer. What he was good at was selling cars. Take two with tow bar down south. Come back on bus with tow bar in hand. Next week or so, do it again. When I was little he taught me how to stretch money at salvation army stores. Pocket watch he gave me came from pawn shop on michigan ave. in detroit. Also bought me electric drill, same place. I have both. Set of Ford wrenches in leatherette pouch. Think he wanted to set me up for things he never figured out how to do. Had I been older or him younger, believe we could have had car dealership. Found out many years later while we were skimpin',he was buying my brother a house down south. He went to work in a suit at Ford, very impressive. Never drove car to work because foundry dust would strip paint. Smoked them stinky cigars, never touched a drop of liquor, never missed church on sunday and wouldn't let you work on nothing sunday or make any noise. Gave Ford 40 years, got sugar and died about 5 years later. Kind of made up for not knowing my grandpas on either side. Talking to him for 5 minutes would be worth a million dollars. Dave

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. 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.
