Could it be that crop clearance was a necessity for cultivating crops well into their growing season, back in the 40's and 50's when these were built? Where as now we have herbicides to control weed from very early in growth. Think about an H Farmall, you were probably still cultivating the weeds out of corn when it was 24" tall in 38" rows before the corn could shade out them out.

It will be my last working tractor (still dragging home the antiques) so I needed to get something that would last and I could work on if need be. Crop clearance wasn't a factor for me, might be for others.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
