I went to the Churchville, NY tractor pull with my family over the weekend. It was a very fun affair. This is an old time event....no fancy rides, just a good old chicken barbecue, lots of good food, country music, lots of tracors, petting zoo for the kids. It was very fun. Even my wife, who is sort of a city girl, and was skeptical, had a lot of fun. A few observations. 1. the tractor pull....how do you tell if a tractor is really stock? Why do the same tractors run in all kinds of different weight classes. It was awesome to see those old tracors pulling, but to hear my wife say deadpan style "Boy those Olivers are some powerful machines" all weekend was more than I could stand.....we really had fun. Does the weight class include the drivers? 2. the tractor show.....tracor restoration is a crazy business. We saw machines that were very rough, to machines that I am sure were in better shape (smoother paint, etc.) than new. To me, the beaters that looked like they just came out of the field were just as much fun to see than the restorations. 3. John Deeres....why are there so many JD's restored compared to others? green was everywhere. Is it a numbers thing? that cool two cylinder sound? Why is there a 2 cylinder restorers club, why not just a restorers club? Thanks
Steve

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.
