Look around inside, touch the parts.

Notice how you can get to stuff that might need serviced some day.

Now imagine if that cover were welded on instead of bolted!!

The NFs' and that 104 have that cover welded in place.

That is the reason I like the WFs' and QLs'
I've always liked the look of the quitelines. My trusted IH mechanic of 40+ years says that quitelines are junk, but from what I understand it's normally just the engine mounts and then some driveline issues. Getting around that, it's not as big of deal in my mind to avoid owning one.

As far as the cover that is bolted on; I have to agree. It makes it much easier to service a WF vs a NF hydro/rear end.
