I will add one that has not been said, the drawbar on the ford row crop models. Where they made that curve down shoulda been a little thicker. Most all you see have been welded. Many tractors you find have a utilty draw bar on them or some one just burnt a hole in what was left of the old one and made a sort one that was too high. My grandfather said he had to weld the bar on his 961 up 3 times. The last weld lasted 15 years, I don't know if he got it right then or if he just bought a bigger tractor to pull stumps with.
