I see stuff like that all the time on equipment. What amazes me the most though is the "ingenuity" put into some of the "repairs". By that I mean who woulda thought you could use a "wigget" to repair the shift linkage. Even more amazing is when you know that what they did had to have taken at least two hours to do during which they lost $200 in productivity when the part actually needed wasn't but $20, took 5 minutes to put on and was aailable at the local NAPA 10 minutes away. I'll admit I've done some off the wall stuff over the years to get a customer out of a bind when they were in the middle of BFE and the needed part wasn't available, but I always got the part and put it on as soon as was possible. As for some of the things you mentioned about leaving old stuff just hanging, stuff not tied up, etc, I pride myself in what I do too much to leave a mess like that because I know one day there'll be someone like you come along and say "I wonder what idiot did this mess"...I don't want that idiot to be me...LOL
