I had a neighbor, never saw anyone like him. He took perfectionism to the extreme. He had older equipment but took excellent care of it. Every winter he took every wheel off every piece and repacked the wheel bearings. You might think it does not pay to spend much time on old equip. as it is all worth the same at the end of its life but that was proven wrong at his auction. About ten yrs. ago he died and they had an auction for his stuff. His reputation was well known in the area for the care of his equip. and I have never seen stuff sell so high for its age. But it was worth it. Anyway, I bought one of the bale wagons and last week I pulled the wheels off and repacked the bearings for the first time since I bought it. I'm not proud of that and I'm sure he is looking down and is pretty disappointed with the neglect I've given his wagon.
