Bug In Tractors

I have two tractors, both older models without the electronics of modern machines. The small one is a Mitsubishi, 4x4, economical and small enough to get around the veg beds. The big 'un is a 1979 IH684 with loader, a bit thirstier but powerful enough for my needs and makes shifting muck easier. The most useful utility is a 2 ton tipping trailer, usually attached to the mitsubishi. Both should be EMP safe and will hopefully ( untested ) run on bio-diesel.

Those international harvesters are deigned to last til the end of the world, I used to frequently see a truly ancient one on a farm near Iron Bridge up Berwick way, back then i thought if there was any vehicles still going after a nuclear war that old heap would be it

Mine looks as if it has already been in a nuclear war, imagine a tractor in a Mad Max film and you'll get the picture. Underneath the seat there is some original red paintwork, everywhere else is rust or red oxide. It was very cheap though and it starts on the button every time.
