Yup some things are better now than then. Though there are many more throw away parts on them, that we used to be able to adjust or fix. The old iron is still better steel than now. This new steel just rusts off in big flakes and falls apart. The old iron yes it will rust but not in the big flakes like this new steel does. I've got old truck frames around for wagons with little rust on them and are in the 40-70 years old. With just small powder type rust.

Now nobody wants to go back to bouncing around like a basketball in the seat on them compared to these newer tractors either. I guess it is a personal use thing. If you're going ride in the field all day for several days you will want the newer creature comforts if just for a day the old M or A will work.
