To bring this back to the point of this board, the fact that farm equipment is built tough must play a role in this. That would make sense if equipment production reached it's peak in 1956-1957. Also it seems to me that obsolescence plays less of a role in farm equipment than most of all of the rest of the manufacturing business's. The two year old computer im using is obsolete, but my 60 year old BN can still play a role on most farms today and with little maintenalce! Indeed, many of those who post on this board tell of using their M's and H's every day, though they are at least 50 years old. I'd hate to be a salesman in a business like that! Dave.
