Yesterday my father had to bring his riding mower to the shop. A belt needed to be changed, the guys in the shop ( all very young) couldn't believe what my father bought in. In almost prefect shape a 1962 sears riding mower. In all the years of use it has only needed blades and belts. What I found sad is younger people don't expect things to be well built and last. It is normal to them for things to be replaced after only a couple of years. They had a hard time believing something if taken care of could last decades. Washing machines, phones, fridges, are all things that I have had to replace after only a couple of years. When I was a kid, it was rare to replace these things.
