    Once the dust settled and the shop cats scattered toward the fences he was sitting there buried in tin and parts off the shelf.

    He is a portly fella, kinda shaped like a pear. Wiggling for all he was worth to squeeze out the hole above the seat to get out. Not a sound except grunting, the ticking of a cooling down engine and the odd fart here and there.

    I wish there was a camera. The viral views might have paid for fixing everything back the way it was.

    We had one by Aeroquip to make hydraulic hoses. The ability to take the bad off, make up it's duplicate right then and put it back on. Quicker than time it took to take somewhere and maybe wait or get some lame hand not crimp it good. Install and it leak or blow..
    Also, after a few months, we had sort have evolved into the fittings we often used so not a big investment. And if strange import, could go get twice as many as need, come and do them ourselves, shelve the spares. On occasion, made something for a competitor and cleared most of my fittings.

    Forklift dealers then did not give other dealers any discount. List, make it expensive for the customer to have went there.

    When I have what you want/need/ or have tried to stick me for.... Brutality is a mild descriptive.....

    Just a quick note for you, @TripleSix , that's not a recipe for keeping a man happy, that's a way to collect on his life insurance after you've fed him enough heart attack cuisine. :)

    Just take her easy for about the first 500 miles. Don't want to have to see you posting pics from the open air repair shop again, anytime soon. :)
