    How about Gravely tractors, haven't noticed them mentioned here yet. The only reason they change hands is if you get tired of using them. Some quality American iron in there!
    One of my neighbor's who is a retired CAT engineer has a couple Gravely tractors with all the accessories they ever made for them. If George can't cut with it, haul with it, mow with it, plow with it, sweep streets with it then "it" doesn't need to be done!

    A 1971 Appleby tent trailer....passed down to me from my grandpa, who bought it for $350.  Went camping in it last month with the kids and their spouses.   4 generations of my family have now used the little Apple...ready to make some more memories.

    I got 3 years out of my $200 plus Red Wing work boots in the shop.  They didn't last any longer than any other decent steel toe boot.  Comfortable, no doubt.

    Lucky to get 2 years out my Ecco Bioms at work.  They are by far, my favorite brand of shoe.  Have burned through all, Asics Kayano, Nimbus, highest end NBs.  The American made NB were the worst actually.  These Bioms have stood up to my abuse.  I bought two more pairs to stow away.  

    Grateful to be introduced to Ecco working in the Dillard's Men's Shoe Dept through school.  Downtime I was trying everything on.  =)
    I recommend this investment to knee, hip, back health to everyone.  Their Track II boots are legendary.  I have abused them early hunting season.  Then I switch to Muck and Red Wing with Darn Tough Mountaineer socks for colder weather.  I'm kind of a shoe whore.  ;)

     Check out Wesco boots, I have been really happy with them.

    @RRP I have a least a dozen 2 wheelers and a few 4 wheelers ranging in age from early 50's to late 90's. All in running condition. I laughed at the first one my dad bought and now can't live without one. Not that common in my area so when i see one in my travels it's usually a good deal.

    Good thread!

    I'll add Darn Tough socks (I get mine on sale), they have a lifetime replacement warranty  :open_mouth:
    In 1992 I climbed Sandia Peak (Albuquerque) with a buddy in generic tennis shoes and cheep socks.  Once I healed up (<<har!) the sports store sold me some good climbing shoes and two pair of Thorlo socks, $20/pair.  
    Loved those socks, warm and comfortable, and when the AF moved me to Grand Forks ND, I bought enough pair to last me between laundry days.  
     
    That was late 1992.  Today, I still have 3 of those original pair left, although they're on their last legs (<<har! I slay myself!).  Thorlo is still in business, the socks are still $20, but their life has been drastically reduced.  Will be giving the Darn (<<<HAR!!!) Tough socks a try.

    My wife's grandmother still has her international harvester freezer she got as a wedding gift.  It's at least 70 years old and still rocking.
    My house had a "Chrysler" furnace, had to replace it about 10 years ago, don't know if it was original but my house was built in '69.

    Socks by Smartwool, when I am wearing shoes with socks I am usually wearing them. They may not last forever but they last for years.

    217,000 miles on a 1991 Toyota pickup when I traded it to someone for some house repairs in 2007. He changed the fuel pump and it was still running last I knew. Now I admit the rear bumper was rusty from launching the boat that I had(Penn reels).
    Wow.  I had 210,000 on my 1991 (only vehicle I've ever bought new) when someone ran a stop sign and destroyed it; I was expecting to drive it until my end.  
    Replaced it with a (what else?) 2008 Toyota pickup (used, but only 1,700 miles), it now has only 54,000 miles and the dealership where I bought it actually asked to buy it back last year, for $4,000 less than I had paid for it!  
     
    Nope.  Driving it until my end.  And I'm careful around stop signs.

    I had 275k miles on my Tacoma before regrettably trading her in on a F150.  I still miss that Toyota.
