Careful, you're talking about my late father, here. LOL!!!

I don't think the concept of fixing something right ever reached him. He never replaced a full set of spark plugs in his life. If one plug failed, he replaced that one. Couple of months later, he'd go through it again with another.

He's spend twice the time cobbling something together than it would have taken to fix it properly.

Space doesn't allow me to relate the time I went on a hairy ride backwards down a creek bank with one of his tractors because the brakes were non-existant.

Best one was one time I walked past the folk's car and saw about an inch of a 3/16 stove bolt sticking out of the top over the windshield. I thought WTF? I investigated. Apparently one of the sheet metal screws holding the sun visor had stripped. Instead of simply using the next larger size screw, he drilled all the way through, put in a stove bolt, and never bothered to cut off the excess sticking out of the roof.

On the flip side, he designed and fabricated an adjustable wide front end on a Fordson tractor before the manufacturers ever thought of it.
