As a mechanic by trade I have the opportunity to see equipment owned by alot of different people. Although there is never a hard and fast rule when it comes to peoples attitudes about their equipment, what I run into seems to hold true 99.99% of the time. What I see is that when someone keeps their equipment in good shape cosmetically then they also tend to keep it in better shape mechanically. Like I said that rule doesn't always apply but there is one rule that does. If you take care of your equipment it will take care of you....and this goes double for those that use their machines in a production environment. It amazes me to see guys that let their machine go without needed maintenance, be it lack of lubrication, lack of lighting (usually due to butchered wiring, etc) and say that they are doing it to save money. In the end these same guys are the ones calling me to repair the machine when it breaks down, right when they need it most. Funny thing when this happens that $5 that they saved by not fixing problem X winds up costing them $500 between the cost of the repair and the lost income from the machine being down.
While I understand that every machine can't be brought back to factory origional, cherry condition, in the end if you take care if your machine it will take care of you....

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
