OK up to this point I have called a tractor junk in this thread. All I did was point out dealer support or lack thereof, and sales numbers that affects parts availability today. You have continually claimed that certain tractors are junk.
LOL AC was considered cheap in the day. Like Case, Oliver, MM and others they just didn't measure up to the leaders, IH/Farmall and JD.
And let compare apples to apples. The CA was produced from 50 to 58? So any Ford between 50 and 58? Wouldn't that be fair? :lol: :lol: Somehow I knew you would say no.
So lets be real here. The AC was considered cheap too when compared to Farmall and and JD. Heck in 1950 when the CA came out the H had been in production for over 10 years and was nearing the end if it's production run. Always been considered a way better tractor than the AC C or CA. Close to the same. IH sold 391,227 in it's production run of 14 years. The AC C and CA had a total production run of 17 years and could sell LESS 1/2 as many because twice as many wanted quality over AC jump out of gear junk. Really 17 years between the C ans CA to make 123,519 gear jumpers??? You keep saying how cheap Ford was well I've never seen a Ford or and IH that was a gear jumper. Seen lots of AC's that were gear jumpers. From a C clear up to 190XT's. Yet you go on about quality? Then they come up with the Snap Coupler system? A system that if it fail would plant a plow in a farmers back? Because it relied on guys getting rid of horses understanding the care and maintenance of that system? And yea, lot of guys farmed right up to the early 50's with horses. First IPTO came out in the late 40's yet AC was too cheap to go to that until the mid 70's? Yep you stick to your better quality notions........numbers, demand and used markets over most of the country makes you wrong. :lol: :lol:

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
