In Reply to: Ever owned a lemon? posted by Rodeo man on November 05, 2017 at 19:57:23:
Dad bought a lemon of a tractor around the mid-1970's. I won't say the make but it was a brand that was folded into AGCO. I get that he wanted a large HP tractor and the price was attractive plus it was a low hour used unit along with a matching plow. He spent too much money in the end trying to find its engine problems. For the initial financial layout he would have been money ahead buying a NEW IH 1066 fender tractor with plow and at least had some kind of warranty. He could have still traded the 1066 when the 8430 came along and had that much more down on the 8430 going into the tough 1980's. He sold the lemon at a pretty hefty loss. The first car I had was a lemon but in part that was as a teen I knew nothing about timing belts and catastrophic failure of an engine. As much as I like to complain we have had for the most part pretty good equipment and anything that did not work out we at least knew we were taking a chance.

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.
