Shawn; You got it exactly right, if you don't take care of them, any of them
will find a way to bite you. I don't really care what brand some one else
likes. It's usually just a matter of what they drove when they were young
anyway. Simple things can cause untold amounts of grief if you're not paying
attention, and it'll happen with any brand. I do know that right now we have
29 tractors. One MM, 4 Cockshutts, and the rest are Allis's. We've never had
a broken block in ANY of them and only had one broken transmission case.
That case was in a 37 flat nose WC we got knowing it had a cracked case.
(the people who inherited it let it sit outside without a boot on the
shifter to keep the water out.) We only got it because they wanted to see it
run again, cause "daddy got it new".
I've driven some good Internationals and some good JD's. Right now I've got
a new JD lawn mower that's definitely not the best piece I ever saw.
I just like AC's  because I don't have to look at a book all of them time to
work on one and they're not making them any more.
