So, there were times when you needed the transmission to behave impeccably - - - - and times when it didn't - - - - - and times when these two times coincided. It made for an interesting day.
You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
I guess I just must be spoiled or something. I wouldn't operate nothing that didn't have brakes, period.
It wouldn't be to bad while you was working it in the lower gears etc. but probally a little dangerous driving down the road.
Years ago a person seemed to take more chances with equipment compared to today. If a person wasn't willing to operate the equipment the way it was,then to bad, someone else would. Can't put bread on the table that way, so you took your chances.
Nowadays most companies keep their equipment safe to operate, or if not I would hope that an operator would refuse to work for them.
Don't take chances operating faulty equipment....there are so many other choices...
