If I were you, I'd find as much info on the 6 to 8 volt conversion you can and drop it by with your name and number on it.

So, I took Murray and went to Sam's Club to get huge bags of grass seed for the Psycobilly parking/camping area. As I am coming out, one of the two super old guys who check your receipt to make sure that you don't have a 60" plasma under the tomatoes says, "Are you a mechanic?"I'm thinking, what about me would provoke such a question, and I say, "Why?" He says, "We are trying to figure out how to convert a 1950 tractor from 6 volt to 8". Putting aside the fact that I have never heard of 8 volt anything, I suggested that there were probably about a million antique tractor guys on the internet. They both looked at me as if I had spoken Navajo. I said go to a library and they would do the search for him.I loaded up Murray and as I was leaving the parking lot I drove by the door and one of the guys waves at me to stop. I do. He says, "I have one of these". I say really? "Yeah, It's older though, and not as nice."He tells me that it is a '56. I asked him if it has an overhang over the windshield. "No, and it also has a bigger door in the back, over the engine door. It has a little bitty engine".Of course, my next question was, "Wanna sell it?" "No."I know his name and I know where he works. If I can find out where he lives and where his bus is. I might have to kill him.
