Good list, but you are forgetting:
---the guy who requires removing bolt on panels to add engine oil from a jug (JD 9430 tractor)
---same guy who used blind nut inserts held in fiberglass shroud that spin out after few removals requiring hours of hole cutting and epoxy to repair so it doesn't look like a butcher job.
---the guy who puts steel bolts in aluminum holes
---the guy who uses phillips screws in anything steel that may rust. Need a federal law allowing phillips in drywall screws only!
---the inventor of the gas grain truck engine, with special attention to the Chevy 427. Put a gas engine in a pickup, runs fine. In a grain truck, it misses, pops and never runs smooth for long. Seen it in single axle dump trucks too.
---whoever decided we need thousands of different sizes and thread styles of filters for all equipment or vehicles

Life could have been made so much easier! :(



See, the 427 is the only gas grain truck I have any respect/ admiration of.

Only one I have ever driven that is still pulling at 65 on a very slight incline.

It greatly helped it was a air brake twin screw 13 speed C70. Idaho guys actually spec a truck properly.

Out here in Western KS, its a bunch of C60s, F600s, etc. with a small gas V8, 5&2 and a friggin tag axle. Dont forget hyd. brakes, and the truck was never a factory tag, so usually some scab on extra setup for the tag. IMO not a more useless combo out there.
