I don't think they were ever cheap to repair. As a child in the 1970s I recall lots of repairs being made in our old machine shed because no way the old man was going to pay somebody shop rates by the hour that he wasn't supervising.
Worst case was an old GAS 815 combine with a 345(?) V8 engine - dad did pay IH dealership to rebuild the engine. It was running OK but was burning massive amounts of oil and a little low on HP. We got it back and that engine never ran right again. Once it warmed up and went under load the engine would cut out and miss - stop the combine and let it catch up and it would clear its throat and run wide open like it should then when you put it back under load it would cut out and miss again with no power. Dealership did everything they could to keep from opening up the engine redoing their overhaul. That combine was parked that fall and never run again except the day it was sold at auction. That was at the height of the farm crisis in the early 80s and there wasn't a dime of extra money - especially not for repairs that didn't actually happen.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
