Randy Freshour said: (quoted from post at 08:14:15 06/21/11) I completely disagree with that. The Snap Coupler system was and still is great if adjusted and maintained correctly. It is the best system by far, If you take the time to adjust it correctly.
You have to be kidding! Farmers back in that day maintaining something that they took for granted! I spent from 55 to 71 growing up in NJ. Then in 71 moved to MN. Joined the Army in 74. In those 3 years I came to understand that many of the older farmers just didn't know how to maintain a tractor. I worked for one guy that you stepped around holes in the hay wagons to stack hay. Another who had a welder and a busted up disk.......that he ran wired up with barbed wire. My own brother in law wanted his son to split a 1586 by supporting it on 55 gallon drums and boards so he wouldn't have to buy metal to build stands or pay to have a clutch replaced. Was at Ft Riley KS from 74-76. Worked for some farmers down there. 1ST one didn't know how to bleed the fuel filters on a 560D. Had a arc welder he got at auction....had it wired in....and never even tried it.
Dad had an AC with a snap coupler.....I wouldn't give you 2 cents for it. And he was excellent with his maintenance.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
