Has anyone ever dealt with a Hugh Riley or a Don Carrol barn and grain bin painters? They are now in east central Indiana and some call them "travelers" but I call them gypsy painters. They drive into the barn yard honking the horn on a late model pick up truck and sweet talk the man in charge, in my case my 88 year old father, after he leaves, I find out they struck a deal to paint bins or a roof, etc. When the crew comes, they are black guys covered in aluminum paint and appears to be prison chain gang.The boss treats them like his slaves. They climb unsafe and work quickly and never seem to complain or get hurt. They work in 90 degree heat and no prep work is done to the metal before squirting it with whatever paint is agreed upon, usually white house paint but aluminum is their favorite. It is certainly just short of a scam, these guys call the Carolina's their home. I absolutely hate the tactics they use, and my father refuses to allow me a paint budget but when these crooks drive in and call him "sir" he eats it up and gets out his check book, I wanna puke. The paint washes off during the next rain or flakes off in the wind. Anyone else deal with this problem?

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.
