You’re so very right there. I’m starting a new hobby — restoring antique iron. I’m amazed at how much iron they put into those old engines with such low compression ratios.

The expression “built like a brick outhouse” doesn’t do them justice.

My principal tractor is a 65 hp Korean job; fuel efficient and modern as can be, it will run for days on end without any problems. But it's got no ass.

Not much goes wrong with the Minneapolis-Moline that can't be welded, hammered or wired back into condition. I won't be around when the new tractor is 55 years old, but I suspect it won't be either.
