I guess some people don't want to work. Had a customer call me this afternoon to see if I could make a trip to their jobsite nearly 3 hours away to make a repair to their machine. They had called a 'local mechanic' to take a look and repair it on Thursday. He told them the leak was the front main seal (B series Cummins), and that he would repair it for them on Friday if they got the parts. Parts were overnighted but he never showed back up, called, or returned their calls to him.
Funny thing he didn't bother to insure they ordered a seal with a repair sleeve for him, didn't bother to tell them he needed a front cover gasket as it has to come off to change the seal. Thankfully I was able to call and find out that the seal sent had the sleeve and that Cummins had a gasket in stock locally, otherwise their machine would have been down longer than it already has....and they need it operational no later than Monday to keep the job on schedule.
I guess it just amazes me that someone who calls himself a mechanic, or that others call a mechanic given that the guys name was given to them by someone at the job site, doesn't care enough to show up to do a job. Not to mention that had he shown up there was no guarantee that he could have done the repair given his obvious lack of knowledge about the repair he stated he would perform.
Like I said, I just can't understand some people. How can you call yourself a mechanic and not know what your working on well enough to advise your customer on parts (and obviously don't bother to even call to figure it out), and then make matters worse by not showing up and leaving the customer hanging out to dry with a broken down machine......I simply can not understand..........

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
