Seals "resealed" with silicon caulking, JB Weld covering broken bolt holes, household wire used for lamp and instrument wiring, and used in place of limiter chain when baling wire could have been used ;), surgical tubing used for fuel line (expands and melts REAL fast it does, not even good for a field repair).
Brings to mind from a few years ago, when an older truck came apart crossing one of the bridges near here. Only thing that kept him from ending up in the riverbottom were the bridge guardrails.The guy had just picked it up at a farm auction and was driving it home. Almost made it to the end of a bridge when the whole front end decided to change lanes without him. Seems someone used baling wire and Duct tape to fasten the front end to the frame. Lasted about 20 miles before it let loose. Needless to say, the "proud" owner had to change pants.
