I ran a Toro for 23 yrs and finally killed it two years ago by pure neglect. Bought a Snapper to replace it and it's the worst purchase I've made in my lifetime. Bought a 1999 Ford Taurus new in '99 and though it looks like a very well used pinata after three boys learned to drive in it, the beast keeps on going even two years after the oldest son ran it with only one quart of the required 5 quarts of oil in it. Last year I replaced the starter and alternator, everything else besides brakes, plugs and shocks are original.

The eleven horse Honda motor on my twenty year old power washer. Full choke and two pulls and away you go. The CAT on it pump is just as good.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

A Husqvarna self propelled lawn mower that I abused beyond belief. Left it outside in a shed in Vermont winters, and it always started the next spring. Used it 6 years in Vermont, and took it to Cincinnati Ohio when we moved, and used it another 5 years there, and sold it with the house when we left there for Florida, and it was still working like the day I bought it, and all I did was change the oil every Spring. Damn good mower!

Abuse is a relative term but Carhart pants are likely my #1...

Murray mower from Wally's, I got mine from a neighbor used for a year or two, for $50. Use it all the time and haven't changed the oil in 3 years or so, just topp it off, add a little Marvel Mystery Oil. it gets a shot of Sta-bil storage in the winter, when I come back in the spring it starts right up. I run over gopher mounds, sticks from the locust trees, everything. Finally turned it over and took blade off to sharpen it, flooding engine while it was on its side, put back together, pulled a few times to get gas out of system and off and running again.
Most Buck knives I have owned, same with CRKT. Ol Mitchell reels,
And of course, our toyotas.
Maybe most stuff I don't "abuse" but we don't baby thinigs either.

[/quote] It's an inline 4 cylinder Detroit diesel. Very common in boats and about as reliable and bulletproof as one can get. They sip the fuel and just keep working. Calvin can tell you more than I can since I've driven plenty but I've never owned one. [/quote] Fixed it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Diesel_Series_71

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

John Bean spray pump. Late 1800's design that still works better than anything else they've come up with. The Honda motor is a close second.
