A tractor of my father made in People's Republic of Poland in 1964, operated very harshly and brutally, and stored outside, still works and cuts grass every summer. It literally needs no electricity - when pulled by other tractor for the engine start, you don't need a battery, thanks to diesel engine with sectional injection pump.
