Well let's see if numbers tell a story. Both JD and IH out sold AC. So not everyone drank the cool aid.
Just how in the heck can you expect anyone to believe that live power through the power director is better than IPTO? I never claimed to be smarter than everyone. Let's see dad had an AC. Liked to jump out of 2nd till he fixed it. Real common problem for AC was trannies jumping out of gear from the WD clear up to and including the 100 series. Wonder why AC couldn't be bothered to address that? I have had experence with other AC tractors too. I'm just unimpressed with AC and willing to point out thier many flaws. Heck even Case beat AC with IPTO.
Like I said, explain why this so called wonder device didn't grab the market? Were all those other farmers dumb? Gee if the snap coupler is so great why is everything today 3 point? The snap coupler deserves a spot right there with the fast hitch as one of the dumbest things ever done by a tractor company. "Let's see here fellas, we are going to get a bunch of dumb hard headed independent minded farmers and force the to buy only our implements". That worked out well for them I see. Really increased AC's market share with that move. Just like the fast hitch. Heck in 71/72 you didn't see hardly any AC implements anywhere and the same went for the fas hitch stuff. Sure you saw the tractors, modified to 3 point. Even the guys I knew back then with AC's could admit the PD was a joke as an excuse for live PTO when comparing say a JD3020/4020, IH 706/806 and the comparable AC offering in the same year models like the D17 or 19. JD and IH both offer IPTO. Now today at auction over most of the country which tractors bring the most money when being purchased as workers? Why JD and IH of corurse! Heck here a IH 706/806 will bring double the money a D17/19 will bring. Guess all those guys are wrong too?
I guess Eldon has said it. If you ain't running AC's yer dumb! And if ya don't love the PD it's cause you don't know how to run it even if you do.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
