Couldn't have put it better myself. Roger Welsch says basically the same thing in his first "tractor book" (I'm still laughing at some of his lines...). The "average" farmer in the 20's and 30's had very limited experience and tools. In addition, the tolerances for making a sqare nut were lower (I've seen some that weren't really square; I think they sheared off steel strapping and threaded crude holes). My grandfather could adjust/fix most of the old implemennts and tractors with a cresent wrench and a monkey wrench (his favorite). Tough to do that today. The stuff served it purpose. The fact that all this old iron hasn't completely rusted away after 60 + years under the hedge trees is a testament to the quality of steel/iron in that equipment.
