And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Antique tractor cold start compilation. I love this stuff.
CW, if you're ever in Northern Michigan, outside of Walloon Lake, you need to visit the Northern Michigan Antique-Flywheelers show. They've been at it for over 25 years.
Closer to CW is the tractor museum at Paso Robles, CA. Not just static display, many of these machines are used in operations.
Because the ranchers, water well drillers, and oil men in the area used steam or kerosene engines, there are many which are shown at regular exhibits and in parades.
Ours isn't as old as these but we have a 1952 Oliver 77 row crop that starts every time. Can lift 1000# with the bucket and tows our corrugate and rake. Just needs a new bouncy seat.
