I guess most of mine have been minor. That last one was when installing a cab back on a 2-105 White I managed to hit the temp gauge and knock it out of the dash. I flipped a 560 gas engine that I had just got done overhauling off the front frames where I had placed it because another mechanic needed the cherry picker. The hook caught it as we were moving it and down it went. Fortunately that time only the floor was damaged.
The most expensive ones were done by some of my employees.
Not pre-lubing a rear axle bearing after a brake job on a truck took out the axle housing and hub. Another mechanic dropped a 3020 gas JD head and broke off a corner where the head gasket sealed. Another time the hitch cover assembly with auxiliary valves from an Oliver was tipped off a bench and one of the valves was destroyed. Another one installed the main bearings upside down in a 4020D JD. That engine lasted about 20 hours running until it was a gallon low on oil before it took out the bearings.
It is a good thing this was all spread out over 30 years. It would be tough to pay for all the mistakes in a short period of time.
