I guess all the old equipment is the same wether it's a saw mill, a tractor, or whatever, it will all talk to you if you know what to listen for. That's the difference between a mechanic, and one of todays new "technicians".

The way I look at it though, the old mechanical stuff will be still be around when the rest is headed to the scrap heap, and since it takes a real mechanic to work on it I'll never be out of a job.
