what cracks me up is reading about guys complaining about farmers fixes on equipment that is 40, 50, 60+ years old. Especially when most of those making fun of those guys never farmed, let alone know what it was like back then. Dont know what it was like trying to scratch out a living on 30 bushel corn on 80 acres without fancy crop insurance or safety nets in place when they got flooded out or droughted out. Forgetting that most of those old guys had to do with what they had on hand, if it was a chunk of 16 gauge wire instead of 12 then so be it. if welding something got you through another year because you didnt have a dime let alone extra cash laying around to buy a project tractor to piddle around with and play farmer then so be it. How many others could have survived as long as they did with as little as most had...So instead of looking at something that isnt up to your perfect standards of how a 50 year machine should be, maybe take a second look and say hey, they did what they had to do to make it to the next planting season in hopes that the next year would be better and be thankful you have extra cash to do the things you enjoy....
