Regarding steel roofs: It's a matter of personal preference whether to use shingles or metal. But a metal roof is going to look like a metal roof (unless you spend a lot of money on one of the steel roofing systems that look like shingles), and not everyone likes the look of a metal roof. So I prefer shingles, but if you're OK with the appearance of steel, that's your business.
But as for the statements that "all steel roofs leak", that's simply not true. Standing seam roofs will not leak if installed correctly, even on roofs with little or no pitch. And there are plenty of exposed-screw roofs that don't leak. But they must be installed correctly. The problem, I think, is that the screws need to be installed using screwguns with depth-sensitive clutches, and most DIYers don't do that. I suspect a lot of contractors don't use the right drivers, either. If you install the screws with a regular screwgun or impact driver, the screws WILL BE overtightened. This destroys the rubber washer under the screw head, making leaks inevitable.

I have been told a diesel holds up better than a gasoline engine as far a wear, tear, neglect and abuse. Since I am looking at older tractors that have probably been through it all, is it better to buy diesel? I do expect to have to do a good bit of work on
