I think almost everyone thats bought machinery ,has bought a pup at least once , The only good thing about it besides learning from it is you get to know the machine better than anyone since it was built . I prefer to rebuild mine when I can , (It's getting harder to do ) , but still makes the machine work better for you . I was told by the man that taught me most of what I know (both things) , the machine knows if you are not paying attention , an if it catches you , it will do something to get your attention , so make friends with it ,treat it well and watch your A$$ .
