I agree with in part.Some stuff is better and safer. Take your 9N out and work the crap out of it everyday.See how it does then. It will break more often. Sometimes though simpler is better. My Dad said in the 60s that cars didnt run that long before needing a tune up or some other attention. Engine technology I believe is better today. I got 300,000 miles on my Ford ranger and its a farm truck that gets abused to no end. He said that a car in the 60s with 200,000 on was unheard of for the most part. I got a neighbor who is trying to farm like its 1950 and losing his butt at it. He is a nurse to. So I asked him that if he needed life saving medical care would he rather have the new technology of the day or be treated with what they had in 1950. It shut him right up. I have newer tractors. JD 8400, 2 JD 4455s and an 7220 magnum and I wont go back to an old tractor. But I have a couple of old ones that I play around with. I hear what your saying and see your point of view. The thing is that a farmall M wont last as long as a CIH Magnum 7220 as far as hours go. but none the less I understand where you are coming from
