I first heard about the breakdown curve maybe 20 years now, reading a Nick Janes book. It is the idea that older or perhaps used machines require work, which is not rocket science I suppose.
I am little bit of freak about machine maintaince at times. I have to find balance between the costs and reality. Yet I am falling behind, all my machines are down at the moment: two honda atv and one snowmobile. The one Honda just needs the tires replaced, one just won't hold air. The other waiting for me to finish installing the engine. That project is held up on 7 dollars worth of parts. The snow mobile I think has major problems requiring the engine to be pulled, the problem identifyed , parts & tools ordered , then repaired . It is all a process I suppose.
Someone said just buy new,but I scoffed.
New machines require cash and payments, or both. Either way there is no free ride.
I will change out tires from the older Honda to the newer one . Then continue waiting for my 7 dollars worth of parts, maybe look at what can do to finish with out them. Engines have a lot things connected. Get that one running. At the same times look at the snow go and get the parts ordered, and start the ball rolling.
