Ah yes, the ancient and untiring urban/rural legend of horozontal pistons suffering increased wear due to gravity. If you measure and study the dynamic forces of a reciprocating engine.

These complaints come from the people who are #1 baffled how their favorite brand went bust and had mergers. #2 These people are also stricken and hurt that their favorite 40HP tractor from the 1950's sells for 1/4 to 1/2 the price of a 40HP 1950's era Deere. Just maybe the tried and proven design worked just fine up to 75HP. And when the 75H+HP vertical engine designs were released. They were thoroughly de-bugged before release. Anybody ever heard of an IH with a ripped up T/A or final drive?
