Dr. and Mack

I too appreciate Doc and Mac very much, both have helped me many of times on here!!!

I have to chime in with everyone else. In today’s world of throw-away part assemblies and the dwindling number of A-C mechanics, combined with Agco’s continual decline in dealer presence (at least in Oklahoma) it’s invaluable to have guys on the forum here like Dr, Mack, and TBran. Sometimes I feel like they must have to get frustrated explaining stuff they’ve known like the back of their hand for so long to novices like myself, but hopefully we can keep learning from them and try to preserve as many tips and tricks as we can on the Internet here so these machines might still be running well in another 50 years.

It would be nice if there was an archive section like the Knowledge Base where topics were broken down into model/series and the issue at hand. Of course, that would take a lot of moderator work trying to sort through the thousands of posts.

Another one of my favorites was the late Don(MO). I learned a lot from him on my WD45 rebuild. 

Thanks for kind words, as to a book - well if the search engine works - there is a huge book right here.  About every issue I have know has been attacked and 99+ % solved on the forum here.  I worked for Norm Swinford on his Expo Gal marketing tours and he was the 'expert' as he had the discipline to do the research and write the book.  the book "Plow Peddler" by Walt Buescher was also a history of the men who sold the iron that helped produce the food that fed the world.  I do have a book in progress, it is the most difficult time consuming project every undertook .  I hope to have it out before I pass :-)  It will not be much about AC iron but rather family and former AC co workers and  frends - will take another year at my rate before going to someone who can put it in readable form. I am so blessed to have been the "Forrest Gump" to a lot of events and great people who touched the orange.  We are all fortunate to rub internet elbows  with those here who have the wealth of knowledge that makes others green with envy.   

Yes Thanx, Dr. Allis, Mack, TBran and others for all your help and encouragement.

Add me to the appreciation list. The knowledge here is a big part of the reason 2 or my 3 tractors are orange.
Whenever I've had an issue the good people here have pointed me in the right direction.

The knowledge these guys offer is something that money simply cannot buy.

Thanks guys!
