My neighbor used to have a pretty sizable diesel garden tractor (I forget 
the 
brand).  The exhaust stack came up through the hood, just a couple feet 
from 
his face!  I could hardly believe he would operate such a machine.  But I 
guess that when you don't know of an alternative, you just don't think 
about 
what it's doing to your lungs.

BTW, that diesel tractor gave up the ghost a couple years ago.  My ET is 
still 
going strong.  I suspect it will STILL be running when the shiny new 
tractor 
on the next road over has worn out, too.
