First tractor I ever bought was an 8N from the guy who did our hay the year we bought our first farm- 1972. I think he still owed money on it, but am still waiting to hear from his creditor. Then got a JD 420 and some equipment out of Idaho for cheap, then a McCormick W4 from a friend of my dad's for next to nothing. My goal was a tractor for each haying implement- Ford on the Massey "Dyna-Balance" sickle bar mower, W4 on the AC PTO rake, and the 420 (with live PTO) on the Ford 250 PTO baler.
One winter day in 1973, I got them all running, and drove them all out of the machine shed so they were sitting next to each other, just purring along. I remember thinking, "I wonder what the poor people are doing today." Never mind that I was actually the poor person, having about $2,500 total in the three of them.
Fast forward nearly 40 years- still have the same wife, and we just celebrated our 40th anniversary in Hawaii. Tractors are long gone, but still know where 2 of them are. Lots of water under the bridge, but still have the memories. That's kind of what its all about, I think.

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.
