First these are freak'ing tractors, they were made to work, get dirty and undergo some changes or modifications over their working life-WHY? things change, the equipment you run, changes to you operation or even with the purchase of additional equipment the role a specific tractor performs in your operation may change. They were made to work and give you the ability to keep your bills paid and feed your family that in its' self is a lot of their history. Example at the golf course we had two Ford tractors a 231 and a 2110, they were basically the same tractor except for paint scheme and tires, one was set up with two remotes to run a snow plow the other had a bracket bolted on the fender to hold the control for the spray rig. I made another spray rig bracket and drilled a holes in the right fender to mount the bracket, changed the same tractor over to the same tire and rim combination as the new one, the high flotation tires were easier on the turf, call the correct police and have me arrested. Second the two cylinder club is missing an opportunity, many of the car clubs have refined survivor or original divisions. If they researched and implemented these divisions or ratings they might actually help preserve older original tractors so generations to come can see touch and feel what they were like when they came rolled out of Moline (or Hillsdale or West Allis or Racine). I almost think they don't do that because it weakens their ability to be the "Experts" and limits the amount of overpriced "correct" parts and accessories they can SELL you.
Second isn't a little arrogant to walk up to someone who has known the tractor for 20,30 or 60 years and start telling them about it? Also remember on the postwar stuff demand was high, the companies could sell anything they made so maybe "correctness" was compromised when they were built all those tears ago. Also a farmer may of ordered a tractor "non-typical" meaning it isn't "correct" but maybe because the original owner asked for and paid for something different or the dealer did some parts swapping to close a sale on a unit.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
