ear those birdies chirping?
Feel that warm, wet breeze on your
cheek?
See that grass turning green?
Smell that storm in the air?
You can almost taste it, can’t you?
Spring!
That time of the year when a good
mechanic’s thoughts turn back to
what winter has done to his equip-
ment and look forward to what sum-
mer will bring.
Yep, it’s time for spring cleaning.
Take it one piece of equipment at a
time. Find where winter has done its
worst and get it fixed. Check all the
fluids. Look in all the nooks and cran-
nies for corrosion, rust, wear and tear.
Ask yourself about each piece of equip-
ment, “Where would winter do the most
harm?”
Once your equipment is shipshape
again, look to the future. Where will
you be operating this summer? How
often and in what conditions? Ask your-
self, “Where will summer do the most
harm?”
Spring is the in-between break be-
tween winter’s cold and summer’s heat,
but it’s not a break from maintenance.
It’s the time to solve the problems of
winter and prevent the potential prob-
lems of summer.
see
you
next
year.
i’m glad
to see
him
going!
yeah,
but are
you
ready
for
me
?
