NDS,
Well..great grandpa would say he never had to fool with rewiring his mule, so in that vein, a mule trumps the A.
Yes, I readily admit I like the modern machines. I also like new cars....spark plugs lasting 50-75,000 miles and no points to change and engines commonly going 200,000 miles....that"s hard not to appreciate. When I was a kid....a slug of a 6 cylinder engine got 18-20 mpg and we thought that was great. These new V6"s run like a small V8 did years ago and get 27-30+ mpg while doing it. My newer tractor does things my old ones couldn"t do and when I get out of the seat, my kidneys don"t feel like they"ve been jelloed. I can appreciate a person"s hard work restoring any old machine to it"s former glory and I also understand a person making do with what they have or can afford. That being said, the old stuff just can"t compare to the new.
