What is it with men and motors?

For my husband the older the better, so he was fascinated to see these vintage ( read, old as dirt) machines up and running.

His favorite?

The double log splitter.

.

I swear he could have stood there all day and listened to it belch purr.

Ditto the corn sprayer…

And the shingle cutter.

.

.

Machine or no, that’s a lot of work.

He also got a large kick out of this relic on the right.

.

An early self propelled lawn mower. Christ, it would have to be… it probably weighed 300 lbs.
