I darned near smacked an elderly couple that turned left in front of me in Cheyenne Wy. when I was hauling a combine. Luckily I was slowed down to turn into a truck stop so I got stopped in time but I couldn't see their car in front of my hood after I was stopped.
I dread the day when I'm going to have to lay down the law about driving with my dad. He's 86 and can drive pretty well as long as everything is normal but if an abnormal decision has to be made he gets a little confused. The wheels upstairs just don't turn as fast anymore. On some days he's foggy and on other days he's really clear. If he has to make a quick decision he just stops in the middle of the road and all common sense goes out the window. He drives the 17 miles from town to the farm and back every day on country roads just fine and he does pretty well in town as long as traffic is flowing normally. He does realize his limitations and I've offered to drive him and my step-mom to doctors appiontments in Sioux City but like all of us he doesn't want anyone to go to any trouble to help him. Jim

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.
