I grew up helping Dad work on equipment, spent time in the Navy working on steam turbines and anything else in the engine room, related to making the ship move as well as support equipment, did AC&R repair, fabrication, and industrial maintenance all for about 8 years after I got out. From then on I have worked for myself. As it stands I'm going on about close to 14 years. I do mainly field repairs on construction equipment and cranes more than anything else but do get smaller stuff brought to the shop (down from the house) on occasion. Though i do more big stuff than anything else, over the years I have worked on everything from push mowers to about the biggest job, that dad and I teamed up to do, which was a complete, ground up rebuild on a 71B Bucyrus Erie dragline. When it comes to cars and trucks though I'll work on my own stuff no problem but I shy away from that type work as much as possible simply because I've had several relatives in that business and I know what kind of crap they have to put up with when dealing with the 'average consumer'. Unfortunately they are a whole different breed of people when compared with equipment owners who, though now always the easiest to deal with, atr making a living with their machines and don't fuss nearly as much about the bill....or leave you with a repaired vehicle to hold on to and then have to get rid of because the bill was more than the car was worth......

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
