I'm refering to our cold climate....If you carried water, you were on the warm side of the house. In the winter a few days you get a few drips of water. If it was on the north side, it remains frozen almost all winter.
If you go through all the work to build one, you might as well gather as much water as you could at no extra cost.
Ever see how ofter a sidewalk settles over a cystern? Wrong, the cystern is below frost, and the rest of the sidewalk heaves up in cold weather, but not at the cystern.
If you are interested, a shingles roof on the north side will outlast the south side usualy. The north freezes, and is frozen till spring, where as the south side freezes, then you get sun shine, then that night it freezes again, on and on and on.
The old timers used their heads, like nine foot ceilings so the smoke from the wood cook stove, or wood burner, would rise above their heads.
I simply enjoy these kind of things, so I ask alot of questions.

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.
