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".

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
