How bout' the seat placement on a WC or WD Allis.
Looks like they got it all done and someone said "Dang, we forgot the seat! Here's a couple holes, lets set it here!" Works really great if you were born with youre left leg three inches longer than the right one. (grin) Of course, I've got two of them.
One thing they DTD get right and that was the governor. All the others only wish they had one that good.

Another one, the throttle on a Ferguson 20 through 40, Never would stay where you put it. That friction disc should have been the size of a saucer.
