I thought I would share this with everyone on this board, as I frequent here, and also on the OldIHC board. There was what turned into a rather strong argument, insults and all, with the associated "bent noses" and "knotted knickers". I only share this because sometimes those same heated debates occur here
I posted the following in response, and thought I would share it here for people to think about before hitting "submit" on a response:
guys, I am 53 years old, and soon to be 54. I have been turning wrenches since I was 10 years old. Most of my experience is with IHC tractors, and have just recently started on the trucks. I would venture to say, I have a wee bit of mechanical knowledge, but I don't call myself an expert.
I learn something new everyday. Sometimes it's big, and sometimes it's small. However, I also know there are many ways to do things, BUT only a few ways to do things that provide a quality result. Opinions are like rectums. Everybody has one, and the other guy's usually stinks.
I have an opinion, and it matches some of the posts here. I usually ask someone what they want to accomplish before I answer. I for one, like originality. That is NOT everyone's bag, never was and never will be. However, I also appreciate a nicely done rat-rod or a flat out hot-rod as well. I choose not to do it, but I also recognize that others do like it, and they approach their "project" with the same passion that I approach my originality. I judge them on their quality of workmanship, and less about what they did. Something done right, with passion, is a beautiful thing.
With all that said, I'll just sit back and watch this one. My opinion is already listed in one of the previous posts, so no need to say it out loud.............[I]

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Profile: Allis-Chalmers WD45 (Gas Version) - by Staff. Beginning production in 1953, the WD45 had the same general look as the WD tractor which was produced earlier - but was much more powerful. This was due to the new 4-cylinder "Power Crater" gasoline engine with a 4 x 4-1/2 inch bore and stroke. Some people feel this was one of the most significant tractors offered by Allis-Chalmers in those days. Nothing in its weight or power class could match its performance.
