Hello, I love tractors of all colors. That being said one thing I have noticed about all of them is they all seem to have one or two things on them that make you say what the %$@^! 95% of the components on old classic tractors are bullet proof and overbuilt and 5% of the components seem like an afterthought and are completely hokey. My 560 Farmall that you bump the throttle with your knuckles whilt keeping them on the steering wheel. Almost everyone I've seem has been modified somehow. My SC case that you had to pull the throttle almost wide open to get into one of the gears. Don't remember which one, doesn't matter. My Cockshutt 30 that you have to nearly get off the tractor to shift the high/low shifter lever. My Case 401 that you can't reach the brake lock on unless you are double jointed and have trained in the circus. And most recently the throttle on my WD-9. Completely akward and out of position. It would have been so simple to do it differently. I'll be modifying it real soon. Any other ones out there? Leave the color wars out please. Mid MN Mark
