Amen on the 4020 JD. I have one just outside the door. 50 years old and still going strong. Miserly use of diesel if not working it hard.
Add to the list the Ford 8N. I just sent a 1950 model over to my son's place to use on his seven acres and for pushing snow next winter.
Darned near seventy years old, and it purrs like a kitten. A guy can rebuild em in the garage at minimal cost. We did this one about twenty five years ago.

Mauser 98. Yamaha Bravo snow machine - Mine is a '93. Other than belts and plugs, last year for the first time I put about $1,000 into it - used track, shocks, and bearings.. Now I have to recover the seat... Them 3 layers of Gorilla Tape only lasted 2 years.... My landlord refers to it as "The Toolbox" - a reference to it's suspension.... Don't have one, but the AC Bearcat seems to be another one.

blanket beat me to it. Still got the ambassador 5000 and it's leather case that my dad gave me 45 years ago.
Have used up all the spare parts that came with it and now it needs rebuilt again, but it's under warranty for life.

Fluke Multimeters.
Ruger six shooters, as mentioned.
Snap On tool boxes. Everyone finally caught up, but mine is old and used daily and was about the best you could get when purchased.

Bought a little red push mower from TSC in 1990. Little Briggs engine on it. Changed oil on it a total of one (1) time in all these years. It only has 3 wheels left and the original blades have never been removed. Even sat outside for a couple of winters.
Without fail, that thing will start up on the 2nd pull after priming the bulb 5 times no matter how long it sits. It's crazy.
It proceeds my wife by 13 years and she will not let me buy a new one. It's become kind of a game to see how long it goes.

In 1993 I changed an oil pan gasket on my 1983 Taco 4x4 stakebed a week before leaving Houston to drive to Tucson to pick up my Dad and go deer hunting on a ranch about 10 miles outside of Tombstone. Took the oil pan down and found all the thrust bearings at the bottom of the oil pan. No time to do anything but grit my teeth and go for it. Made it to Tucson, hunted a week, drove back to Houston and used as my daily driver for 5 more months before I had one of those 30,000 mile Jap engines installed. I now own a Jeep Cherokee (daily driver), a fairly new Tundra (30,000 miles on it) serves as my travel/hunting truck but I still keep my 4x4 Taco for when its time to go where no man has ever gone in the desert.

I have a little Husky chainsaw that's gotta be at least 25 years old. I've never touched it...it's even running the original spark plug....but it runs every time I ask it too.
Also have a Stihl line trimmer that by all right should have died from abuse a long time ago but it still starts on the second pull every time. Matter of fact...I used it for a couple of hours this morning.
Taco's are a given but I'll add CZ rifles, early JM Marlins, older Buck and Schrade knives, Stormy Cromer hats, and Filson Wool to the list of indestructible's.

So far, after a healthy bit if use, this $100 toy has been a dream.

2 stroke lawnboy mowers. paid 25 bucks for it 30 years ago. i literally ran 2 sets of wheels off of mine. got a freebie out of somebodies garbage and did a carb and cable/linkage/wheel swap and ran it for about 10 years afterwards. it was still running when i gave it to a buddy. i hope my honda does half as well but i kind of doubt it. +100! We had one when I was growing up in the 80s, and my folks volunteered my mowing services to about everyone in the southern end of the county. I tried like heck to kill the thing but never could. Of course that is exactly what I bought when I got out on my own.

I agree. A Hustler zero turn does the mowing. The push mower gets fired up a couple times a year to go under the apple tree when it's loaded up and the branches are hanging.
