I have a Gravely walk-behind tractor for snow-blowing that never works right and requires constant tuning and maintenance day-to-day. It's got an 8 horse Kohler engine that never produces enough power and has transmission problems. The PTO won't stay engaged unless I use a bungie cord to hold it and it creeps even when out of gear in both ranges. I'm the only one who can get it to cold start and I have to mess with the idle-air mixture every time I run it. I love it and it's my friend. It's dangerous, from the day's of yore, and terrifying in it's lack of operator safety. But I painted it yellow and green for some reason and it makes me happy. There's my excuse. It took a month of fiddling to get it running in it's current condition. I had to pull the carb something like 10 times until I realized that I was the idiot, found the mixture problem, and got the motherfucker to run. I love her. This is the version where the governor works. It doesn't work great, but it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4s82S0zn00 If that's not green, I apologize (color-blind). I'm pretty confident that the yellow is yellow.
