I like the ones that start first time.

I like the ones that go when I need them to.

And just as importantly, I like (Actually, I think I love...) the ones that can stop me when I get to where I'm going.

Point A to Point B and home again. Simple.

Brand? Who cares? They're all better than walking and carriying the gear on the back.... ;-)

OK I have a very exacting list that must be met

1. When we get in it starts EVERYTIME
2. When we load up to clear scene it must not only run but have the transmission engage and suffer no other problems while getting us back to the station

That is my FAVORITE type of Engine

Clint,
Look up Peter Pirsch, I love those 1950's and 1960's engines and trucks with the long noses. Seagraves during that period were very cool as well. As for working on them it does not matter much, just so the start, stop and do the job.
