Well, sir, I have been working on THINGS at least as long as you have. ASE certified master auto technician, certified heavy duty truck technician as well. Ford certified for ANY of their training schools without needing a specialty. I've done it all as far as mechanical goes. Transmissions, engines, final drives and everything in between. Also have worked on my share of tractors, mowers, chain saws, and about any kind of outdoor equipment you can name. also have experience in plumbing and electrical.
