I'm glad you have all the weld certs and so on. I didn't want to start any war but you must see that the hobby engineer ,for the most part, doesn't follow proper procedure-blowdown the boiler often enough,leave alkaline laden water in the boiler all summer(sometimes winter!), no boiler wash , Do you use soft water? No.So scale forms;under that scale then is a breeding ground for corrosion,because of trapped moisture.You know I've been running Locomotives and Traction Engines since I was 6,that's 30 years-does it make me "smarter" than you? Who knows;I learned from "old timers",I've made repairs IN a boiler when it was still hot- but not under pressure- from inside a firebox ,the ashes dumped and me inserted. Does that make me a certified welder? No. But I have passed Locomotive Engineers exams,built a "kit" model engine,from plans. And have seen a LOT of time in the cab and on the platform of steam operatrd machinery.For some reason I feel rather insulted by your reply,I never called you a "yokel". If you assumed that,it was certainly misunderstood,but don't insult me with the certs and insurance inspector- I don't care. I originally responded to someone who called steam engines a "bomb",I appreciate your teaching me a lesson in economics,but don't.I just tried to give a short response about boiler erosion and operator responsibility. I know why engines went the way of the horse-why flame me? It just reinforces my initial thought- That you were a Putz Suck on that boiler boy!

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.
