That's a good one! You must have been watching me today. My old lawn fertilier spreader broke in the middle of the lawn work. To finish the job I wrapped a few feet of duct tape around the broken part to hold it all together to get finished. And that came after a shot of WD40 to free up the cable before I started.

I'm old enough to remember when there was no duct tape and the material used to hold things together was bailing wire, and waste oil was the go to lube choice.
Wow, you are old. JK. I'm so old we used to make our on oil from buring our own dinosaurs and then waiting for them to make the change. You just don't get the quality oil out of the monkeys we have to use these days.

Unfortunately, my father-in-law hasn't kept up with the times and still uses bale string and slop oil for everything. I made the mistake of letting him oil my son's bike the other day. I swear he used a half a quart of slop oil, and made sure he didn't miss any of the joints on the bike. My son came riding up to me and asked when all this oil dripping from his bike was going to dry. He was leaving a trail of oil from the workshop and into the garage, and of course it was all over his clothes. I was not happy.
I worked in an old DuPont developed manufacturing plant a little over a decade ago. Much of the development was done in the 40's and 50's. No equipment being produced today can replicate its performance. No baling wire involved.
However, the end markets have shifted and it now serves niche markets and is no longer growing.

Now Craig...you'd never know it as we have black duct tape for frame repairs, red for pesky body holes, and beige for the wife when she bitches that you are going to fast!

There's something about fertilizer and rust... My spreader is a larger hopper style (for the acre of lawn) and that moving finger that keeps the fertilizer going rusts fast, anywhere the fertilizer travels tends to want to rust, paint or no paint...
Think I will have to switch to sheep [censored]! sh!t
