Pilot's complain about the empty weight always creeping up on subsequent aircraft models. I guess its the addition of little things like the gear door accumulator that eventually add up in the newer models.
There is a thread on FB about a 337 that had its nose gear doors modified to operate mechanically from the nose gear. I guess at some point, the previous owner's last nerve was stepped on, and he ripped out the hydraulics! The new owner reinstalled the hydraulics.
