Don't knock the engineering. Some of those old farmer derived tractors from the 30's and 40's were quite decent. Making governors out of door hinges, pto's from axle shafts, belt pulleys driven directly off the clutch etc. Most of it was done with hack saws, hand drills etc without the help of arc welders and other modern tools.
