Hi You are lucky chucks still around, Listen to every thing he tells you and ask more questions to if needed. I'm 42 and have been listening to these older guys for years. I had a couple friends one did machining the other ran backhoe loaders/rebuilt them and sold a few to. The stuff they told me went in one ear and stayed. quite often I'm doing something and what they said years ago comes to mind and is the solution. sometimes it's the opposite and you think they are gone and I bet they knew the answer to the problem.
Lots of this old school information is heading in a hole in the ground. There aren't many guys like me interested in listening anymore either, so that loss is speeding up fast. A local guy was saying his Cat excavator broke down they sent a kid and as soon as he got the computer out, he told him your done before you start here there is no plug in for that machine it's to old!. The kid had no clue how to diagnose the problem and fix it, and Cat sent a bill for his wasted visit, and the guy that fixed it. The machine he runs now has JD written down the side, he was that mad about it. Regards Robert

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
