I think mine is my wagons and weed eater. Everything else I keep a record book on, and follow the owners manual. If I can't do it I take it to the appropriate dealership.

Cockshutt 30 that sat too long and won't run to save its life. Just can't seem to get the carb gasket to seal up, so if it runs at all it doesn't long enough to get in gear.

560 and loader. Always welding that thing together.

I suppose the 4 combines we use as our personal harvest-time boneyard constitutes neglect on them too.

Our 165 Massey that's got a loader on it, and our manure spreader. Doesn't get greased nearly as often as it should, and seldom gets scraped out in the summer.

The rest we try to take care of when ever they get pulled out for use, but the spreader and loader are used almost daily so maintance is often forgotten or put off for a little too long.

It's got to be my 1811 Cub Cadet hydro lawn/garden tractor. My wife thinks it's a bush-hog.Routinely knocks down ten foot tall weeds or mows over two inch thick limbs on the ground . It's been kicking around here for fifteen plus years though with no major problems.

The most abused is the loader tractor, 185 and 200, and weedeater. Hit a stone so hard I broke the head off the shaft. Loader tractor because it's a loader tractor and 185 and 200 because I could care less and you have to beat them to h*ll to make them do anything.

Chain saw. Bought an expensive saw and babied it. That expensive saw gave me nothing but trouble and I fianlly scraped it out after the the dealer said it needed a new piston/rings. Went to F&F and bought a cheap Homelite with the plan/idea to just throw it away when it stopped running. Have ran the living heck out of it for the last fifteen years. Cut a lot of hedge, cut roots off below the ground, and have hit many nails/staples cleaning out fence rows. No repairs other than a new chain and bar, have never even changed the spark plug. Tied for second place is the leaf blower which is used to clean the combine and the Bachtold weed mower.

Old push mower gets abused the most, only pulled out when the weeds are waist high.
