Years ago when I was in Texas I bought my sister a couple of horse heads carved out of drift wood that formed a table once cut a sheet of glass for the top. She didn't use them for years, only wrapped them in plastic and put them in storage. One day she decided to use them and when she unwrapped them, same thing. Pin holes like post beetles and plenty of dust. She took them to an exterminator that identified whatever kind of beetle that they were and exterminated them over a few days by locking them up in a vault with gas of some sort. Caught them in time before they really really did some damage that would have deformed or destroyed them. Afterwards she varnished the heck out of them which would have suffocated anything that maybe survived the extermination, filled the pin holes, and coated them with a beautiful protection. They make a beautiful table. The exterminator guessed that the wood used to make them was untreated because I went through my sisters home in that whole area and found no damage to the home, which means they were confined within the plastic bags.
Good luck. And CALL AN EXTERMINATOR before its too late.

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.
