''Monsieur, my son is eighteen. If he had not coverted his Farmall to a twelve-volt electronic ignition by the time he was twenty, I would have disowned him. If he has not converted it back by the time he is thirty-five, I will do it then.'' - Clemenceau.Actually, Clemenceau was talking about Communism. But Communism and conversion to an electronic ignition system ''just because'' both appeal to me about as much. Generally speaking, the older a tractor owner is, the more likely they are to stick with the original six-volt system rather than trash it because ''new, high tech stuff has GOT to be better than old stuff, right?'' Wisdom comes with age. It's your tractor. Convert it if you must. But I don't think you'll see any improvement in reliability or performance to repay you for your cash outlay and efforts. And, save the original parts. The next buyer might want them. Especially if he's an old guy like me.
