Hugh, I disagree with ya. (What's new?) :>) Using them correctly does not hurt a tractor one little bit. In fact, it is good medicene for the old beaters. It is what they were designed for. It is what they do and most of these old ones were way "overbuilt" to start with. They do not "wear out". They just don't. Egg shaped drawbars are not a topic. Drawbars get beat up. Old tractors have egg shaped drawbars, fact of life and sure not an arguement there. But, you show me a bearing race that is flaking off and I'll show you an abusive operation somewhere along the darned line. I will agree however that inactivity is probably the "worst" thing a guy can do with a tractor. Lettin' the tractor just sit kills 'em. Now, I can certainly understand one dying from old age. That's normal and is to be expected. It's just that I've just never been around a 175-year-old IH tractor and can't speak to that issue. :>) Allan
