Terry, got to tell you this for what it's worth. Don't have any idea how old you are, doesn't make any difference. Tell you what I worked on a good many of those old pieces of iron. My thinking has always been that when you really think about it, they were made simple so that if you had a little common sense you could work on them and if the need arose you might even be able to make something to keep it working. Well now stop and think about all of the new tractors they are making, how far down the road do you think they are going to last. I'm talking upkeep, maintenance, and procuring parts just to keep them operable. The price just gets higher and parts harder to find. The new technology has the farmer right where they want them under the old trade it off and buy new, it's just to expensive to fix. You know what? I think those old ones are going to be around a long, long time and get better with each passing decade. Nuff said.
