on my JD 40U i rebuilt the hydraulic pump last year. "oh, what harm can that nick out of the leather shaft seal cause" thought i. i realized what harm as i pulled the pump out of the freshly painted tractor this spring to re-rebuild the pump and put a new, un-nicked seal in. the engine having several gallons of oil in it clued me in to the problem.

that wasn"t my most depressing though. i was repainting a 1962 Harley XLH a few years ago. all the painting was finished and i was on the last coat of clear on the last piece (the rear fender). you guessed it, i dropped the fender. oh well, lots of sanding (and cleaning with thinner) and some careful tapping with the hammer and it was ready for painting again.
