As a kid it was a common sight to hear/see/smell missing, back firing or dead vehicles on the road. Jumper cables were a must have. Engines would quit in rainy weather. Engines vapour locked in hot weather. Gasoline engines & vehicles wore out fast. A gasser with 100,000 miles without a rebuild was uncommon & on borrowed time. Plugs, points, oil filter/changes, stuck exhaust cross over valves, air filter changes took time & $$$ every 3000 miles. Now engines start at -40 just by turning the key and without touching the gas pedal. The engines don't stall either when starting away cold. Oil/filter changes are at 10,000 miles, ignition systems go 100,000 miles and the only item to service are the plugs. Air filters go 10-30,000 miles. Mileage and power has more than doubled on the same size vehicle. Even the tires last longer at 30,40 thousand instead of being bald at 10,000 miles. I don't miss the good old days. An ODD II scanner which will find most problems. Costs about the same as a good dinner out and a show for two.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
