Guy my wife works with got married a couple years ago and bought a house. Used up the firewood pile that came with it last winter. Like every homeowner with a man card, he's gonna cut his own firewood. After he got his saw bought and ready to go, he decided he had to get the wood home somehow and he always wanted a tractor. Only thing he could find affordable was a 67 HP IHC 724 (German model). Got it and decided (prolly the wife decided) he couldn't keep that ugly thing close to the house. So, his buddy has a shop and is an expert. Tractor gets stripped of just about every piece that will unbolt, gets brushed, scraped, primed, and ready to paint. Wife has a baby in the midst and decides papa needs to spend more time with the family and alots him "2 or so hours a couple times a month" for the tractor. Means by the time he gets to his buddy's place gets the shop warm and opens a beer, its time to pack up and go home. Buddy is getting tired of the tractor (which by now is almost completely painted) in his way. Tractor owner is deciding he don't really need a tractor cause when he complains around my wife and the other women around, they take up for his wife.
My wife sat next to him at the company Christmas party Friday and mentioned that we'd be interested in buying the tractor and it would be close by for him to drive if he wanted to take it to a show or something so he could show off his work. He's never drove the tractor in the year he's had it. We'll see.

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.
