I just have to respond to this. I am an engineer and have had this same conversation with my dad about why did the engineer put something somewhere on a piece of farm equipment. 1. The engineer didn't design it for the guy running old equipment and trying to fix it himself. He designed it for the guy buying it new. I have never seen my dad think about maintenance when he bought something new and I don't think he would spend more money to buy something that is easier to maintain. 2. Not all parts can be put in a perfectly accessible spot. So when you are complaining about the hard to get stuff look at all of the stuff that is easy to get to and compliment that. 3. Most new things like cars or tractors are not 100% designed from ground up. The design evolves over time keeping some old things and adding new designs. This leads to less than perfect solutions. 4. Things are not made to be maintained (taken apart). They are made to be assembled and built at the lowest cost.
