I don't know how you can say that with a straight face. You jump in this thread as an a**, you continued as an a** and when called on it, you remain an a** and idiotically rationalize it as some sort of butthurt PC response.
And if that weren't enough, you continually distort my statements to fit your bullsh*t narrative. Not once did I say that Ford engineers would design anything so cheap, back in the day, as to only last long enough to get past a warranty. Additionally, not once did I state that they purposely designed them with "inferior "parts. (Of note: You won't get an argument out of me as to as to whether products were made better back then, of course they were.)
What you seem utterly incapable of understanding, however, is exactly how design and manufacturing works on that scale. I'll dumb it down for you; Of course the engineers would prefer to create a work of art out of shiny, exotic materials that never wear out and send the ladies into a frenzy. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way in the real world as to do so would place it firmly out of the reach of its target audience. So what do they do? They find the best compromise between cost, durability and risk of course. (GM gas tanks, silver paint - FORD f'ing PINTO anyone?) The list is a mile long, and we end up with things that will, and should fail.
Inferior? Well, when compared to manna from heaven, yes. For real world applications? Not so much, as the longevity we've already established clearly illustrates.
THAT is why I stated that Ford would NEVER have produced a "tube made of diamonds" for these particular tractors and as such, I rightfully asked what material might have been the best to use - IF THE ENGINEERS WOULD HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY.
And THAT is why discussions should absolutely be had to improve designs that we have the hind-sight to see need improvement. ESPECIALLY those failures that are relatively commonplace as opposed to believing that there can be no improvement. No one is 'complaining' here.

And clearly you were wrong.
Now you can continue to be an a**, or you could get off your high-horse, your choice.
Why not attempt to answer the question? Or leave it to someone better equipped to think outside your box.
Makes no difference to me, I simply wish to foster a discussion between level-headed folks.
