He was just having a little fun. As I recall your response was a little caustic and solicited some harsh replies. He was bragging about being able to determine your ISP location. I don't care about that.
We're not all novices on this site, and you will find that people with many years of experience may have different experiences with the same issue. That is, two people may do the same thing and get different results. That leads each one to believe he will get the same results every time. For instance I have never had front end wobble because of a worn sector gear, it has always been the lower bolster bushing. Five times. Not 100 or 1,000 times. But it convinces me to look at the lower bushing first. I have always found a little play in the sector gear was not the problem. So it is hard for me to believe it ever is the problem, but I don't question experienced people who have that problem. Same thing with steering sector gears on H's and M's. I have 12 M's and 6 H's and have not been into all of them but none that I have opened have 360 degree gears, so the guys that say "turn the sector gear half a turn" sound silly to me. That does not mean 360 degree gears were not produced, they were.
You were right, I have never experienced warping valves on an M from running one with a straight pipe. The second half of that is that I have run an M with a straight pipe for several years with no problem with valves. I did break a manifold catching the pipe on a branch at the end of a field while turning a little close to the fence. That taught me the real value of a sheet metal muffler.
Now, you need to own up. Have you ever warped the valves on an SM Farmall because you ran a straight pipe exhaust? Newer tractors and automotive engines don't count because that was not the subject. The subject was impact of a straight pipe on a SM. If you have warped valves on newer engines then you were guessing about what would happen with an SM and guessing on this forum will get you into trouble because there are a lot of genuine experts who read (to learn) but rarely post unless they see someone being led astray.
