Wayne we have the same thing happening at work every day. I run some very expensive Japenese machines that are a perfect example of what you are talking about. The man that designed them is now old and retired is basically a consultant. I met him once in 15 years. He was brilliant. The men who are now refining these machines and continuing the building of them are not as good at it as he was. The machines now come in with more sensors, different designs in the electronics, safety switches all over (OSHA) and a plethera of design changes and rennovations that have almost rendered them useless. The original old clunkers run almost non stop 24-7 and the new breed are almost always not running to a point where the company is going to have to consider scrapping them out. There are some really intelligent people in this world that can design some very impressive things but hardly anybody is trained to fix them. Sometimes the original guys that built them come to our factory and look at them and scratch their heads and can't get them running. I have had best success with new technology if I use it up right away. Drive the new car 200,000 miles in 5 years and get rid of it. Old technology you can keep around much longer and have much less problems with it, although it has many less frills. Farmall H for example. How many 2008 Kubota tractors will be running in the year 2070? !!

I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
