it could well happen, the company i work for falls under MSHA which is even stricter than osha, so far the company has had to sideline and sell 2 off road haul trucks that were in perfectly usable shape, why? because somebody at MSHA decided that off road haul trucks must pass the same test for their emergency brake system as front end loaders must, this involves getting a full loader bucket of material, [ 7 cubic yards] climbing a stockpile untill the rear of the loader touches the ground, then setting the emergency brake, the machine must not move for up to 5 minutes while in that position, now, while loaders routinly do that [ without the e brake] while piling material, who in their right mind would even try that with a haul truck? naturaly the truck wouldnt hold, and the inspector placed it out of service-permenently , another example was the old "runaround truck" this old pickup wasnt even licenced since 1982, it runs from the shop to the crusher, a distance of about 1/2 mile, hasnt seen a public road since nobody can remember, it hauls tools and parts and men, thats all it does, placed out of service for no shoulder belts in the cab, this truck didnt have them when new, its old , so it now sits in the dead row, in running condition, so beat, [ there isnt a srtaight body panel on it] that so far nobody wants it lol , sure they can place a hoist out of service if it doesnt pass the new codes, they got to justify their jobs some way, like the dot, if there there, your going to get a ticket for something, period, how deep they have to dig to find something to write a ticket over, shows how good a job your doing, id say by the time they got down to the clip on the hook of the engine hoist, your shop must be in good shape safety wise

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
