The Amish in my part of Maryland cannot use electricity for personal use but can employ gasoline engines and generators for business purposes.
The best small engine repair shops, Stilh dealer in the area are all Amish. I am proud that they know me as a friend.
I'll post some pictures later of the work one of the carriage makers did on an old pony cart I traded my sister for.
Z-man, the Amish here would absolutely qualify.
