People ask me why I like keep my 1864 verses getting a new tractor. I say that they were the last of the old American way of doing things. If something is not strong enough, just weld another piece of steal onto it.
On the other hand, we have had our own problems with throw away stuff. Cars made in the US in the late 60's into the 80's were often complete junk. I remember putting my foot through the rusted out metal door panel on a Ford Maverick when is was only 4 years old. Or the famous Chevy with a V8 where you had to jack the engine off the motor mounts to change a spark plug. Of course some of those cars were really cool, especially the muscle cars. I miss the sound of the old V8's
