Walt,

When I used to farm, sometimes there just isn't enough time to do all that
needs to be done.  We would make temporary repairs to get the equipment
going again.  Then when things slowed down, we would do the correct repair.
Sometimes it is less costly to limp the jury rigged along, as opposed to
losing the crop.  I say this, because we used to raise fruit and vegetable
crops. So, timely harvest was of the utmost importance, as opposed to
spending a days worth of time making repairs, let alone waiting for the
parts that are needed.  

I believe in doing repairs correctly, but it can't always happen at the
moment something breaks.

Farmer,
Every time we get an old  piece of equipment to restore the first thing we
do 
is replace all those jury  rigged things that people like you put on it. No 
I'm not in a dream world I'm  just one who likes to do the job correctly the

first time and not have to do it  over later because it didn't work. But you
just go ahead and do your  old farmer baling wire repairs if it keeps 
you happy.
