When I retired and moved back to rual Ohio, I vowed I was going to get a new John Deere. I ended up with a Ford 850 tractor, a real workhorse. I did all our excavating around our new home, and then some. As I'm getting older I decided to revisit the idea of the new John Deere except now it's got to have a front end loader. My back just can't take it anymore.
Anyhow, long story short, after months of searching and evaluating, I ended up with a Kubota Grand L3540HST+. What a machine. I've had it since last October and every time I use it I am glad I was able to get it. Outstanding tractor!

I had to watch it with the mute on so as to not disturb the slumber of the misses and it reminded me of a lost eppisode of "Leave it to Beaver"

16,000 underground fuel tanks now 60 years old!
The construction of the framing was automated also.
Assembly line fashion.
Miles of roller conveyors and chop saw stations.

I lot of those tanks are probably long gone by now. I've been there and it's very built up now, I'm sure most of those houses have been converted to gas.

I live within 5 miles lf Levittown, Pa. It is 100% oil heat still until this day. (unless someone converted to propaine or electric.) I drove an oil truck for J.C. heating for one winter and serviced every neighborhood in Levittown. Most homes still have underground tanks.The average tank only lasts 10 years. Then they rust out leaking oil into the ground causing a very costly cleanup. Fortunately There are now fiberglass tanks available that don't rust out. The Levittown shopping center was torn down 10 yrs. ago. It is now a home depot.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess gas mains were not installed during the development. In all the Levittowns I wonder if there are any coal stoves?
