I've been jerking around with old tractors, cars, trucks, boats, etc. for almost 50 years now. I don't have any gray hair so maybe I don't fit the profile of some of the comments made.
My take on this is - no matter what you do, different things appeal to different people. From what I've seen, tractor meets were a heck of a lot more interesting years ago when groups were smaller but more hands-on types got involved. Many did it because they liked tractors, and didn't really care who else got involved. I know several like that now who never go to shows. They just stay home and fool around with their own stuff.
I think it was a lot more fun when you could buy an old two-cylinder Deere from the 30s for $50 or $100 bucks and maybe bring it to a local backyard meet somewhere where another 10 people might show up. But,that's me. Like I said, not everybody likes the same.
Same goes with tractor pulling. It was a lot more fun 30-40 years ago with out-of-field tractors and home-made sleds to pull.
I'll add that not everybody has to be from a generation that used something, to be interested. My wife loves wood-cooking yet she did not grow up with it. I like Model T Fords yet I grew up with cars from the 40s and newer.

It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
