David the good thing about most of the old iron is that is was built 
extremely strong, overbuilt really.
That allows it to be used hard, repaired and used again without ever really 
wearing out unless it's abused.
The old saying, "they don't make them like they used to" certainly applies.

And this one was in great shape.  Straight sheet metal, some fading of
the paint but a fine looking tractor ready for business.  Obviously run
as it was tooling down main street.  It is rare to see that generation
of AC tractors here but my cousin over the ridge has a 170 that is in
super condition - and no he will not sell (I asked!).  Our grandpa
farmed with AC tractors and I guess we bleed orange.  I have the old
D-14, I remember the B but not the CA that was traded for the D-14.
