Don't think I'm singling you out on purpose, but the name "FarmWithJunk " paints a painfully tempting target. It's obviously far to late to quantify anymore, but I can't help but wonder how much less junk you'd have on that farm if you'd actually followed any/all manufacturer's recommendations during those 40 years.

Ah Greg, yet ANOTHER occasion where you sound off when you have absolutely no clue about what you're speaking of. But then, we've come to expect that from you after oh so many times such as this.
It's very easy to understand how you'd make such a mistake. One quick look at your profile will explain how you wouldn't know a REAL piece of farm equipment if it fell out of the sky and landed on you.
My username comes NOT from the condition of my equipment as it is, but more accurately, as it WAS. Most of what I farmed with was bought used, and bought from people who used, abused, mis-used, tortured, destroyed, and damaged perfectly good equipment, then were forced to sell it or trade it for pennies on the dollar of what it SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH. Then I would buy it, repair it, and farm with it for a few years, sell it at a tidy profit and then go looking for yet another piece that met an early demise due to its owners lack of understanding of how to take proper care of their equipment and make it last .....
So long as there's people in this world like you that don't understand the fact that you don't need to hammer the daylights out of every piece of equipment every time you turn the ignition switch, people like me won't have a difficult time finding a constant source of used equipment with its life nearly wrung out long before it's time.
So your rather sophmoric attempt at humor actually ends up as a compliment on my username and how it came to be.
So, as I was taught at an early age, I thank you for (A) providing those of us who depend on people like you with a steady flow of prematurely worn out equipment, and (B) Thank you for providing me with an opportunity to explain how my username was created.
