Ok now. Amish are the most strickt of the two. They have their own churches or Sects. Each has it's own leader and they and elders interput the Bible and they have their own gidelines. So each one is a little different. Horse and buggey only. You have NO idea how much trouble it was to have them carry SMV markers in daytime and running LED lites at night. They power the lites with a car battery from the local hardware store. 5hey exchange them for a charged one. SO SO Many people got killed at night. No powered machinery, etc.etc. The Mennonite ALSO have roughly the same deal but are a bit more free thinking if you want to call it that. Now they will have Diesel power equipment mostly because it doesn't use electricity. Cars and trucks will normaly be black and have all of the chrome work painted over. You must be humble and not vain or flashy. Depending on 5heir sect, some can drive a car but most will hire a driver for work trucks on or to job sites. Some have tractors and some don't. Again it is what sect they belong to. What is really cool is go to a Mennonite machine shop. Every piece of machinery is powered by hydraulics!!!! They have a Diesel engine running out back for power. They also use a lot of hydraulic power chainsaws and such. The other thing is air power tools. Run an air pump with a Diesel. They use 600 gallon or a couple of 250. Oil tanks piped together. You should see what happens when one of those babies lets go at 175psi when the saftey gets stuck. This is as good as my knowlege goes. Have a couele of friends and business people who like to tell ya all of this stuff. It really is incredable to see a big green s....spreader out in a field with a diesel engine on a big front pulling cart with eight huge horses on the front end pulling. The wheels on the tractors they have their own companys who make them. Some of the ones I have looked at are Very nicely made. Again,it has to be with not being vain. Also the can pull like you can't beleave! This is another reason you see so many of the steam tractors at shows are Amish or Mennonite. If you own a Frick or Rumley. Cant remember wich one but i think it is Rumley, tractor they make new almost every blasted part for them. You can build a totally new one if you want to. There are a lot of these guys who still use them. Hope this helped.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
