Just wanted to say thanks again for the responses the other week about making up some company brochures. My little girl was out of school the other week due to the show and ice around here so since I had to babysit I took the opportunity to sit down and get everything together using the wifes Publisher program. I wound up making and sending out about 143 of them and only got 10 back as undeliverable due to the companies no longer being around, or at the address I had.
I sent them out Friday before last and so far have gotten five calls over 5 actual work days. One has already turned into a Gehl skidsteer setting at the shop needing a new drive motor. The nice thing is the time I've got just in troubleshooting on it so far has more than covered the cost of the materials and postage used. Trying not to 'count my chickens' here but I'm also supposed to be getting a call back toward the end of the week with a time frame to change some leaking lines inside the boom on a Lull telehandler...after they get to a stopping point and can let me at it. Then there's another guy supposed to be dropping off a Hobart welder needing work on it's engine toward the end of the week also.
All in all with what I look at what I've got invested in getting everything printed up and then having to send everything first class it was only about $110. When you consider the $90 I didn't have to pay for daycare that week because I had to stay home with my daughter and subtract it from the $110, I didn't have to actually invest but $20 to get it all done. I think for the response I've gotten so far it was well worth it.
So, for all that responded to my post, again just wanted to say thanks. Between all the different opinions and reponses put out, it really helped me get things together.

Today's Featured Article - 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.
