Watch out for three or four log books that have date entries that sequentially jump from log to log back and forth. I ran into a machine last year that three logs books that required an accountant to figure out. In the end, the engine that the owner said had 877 hours since rebuild actually had 1977 hours on it since rebuild. He also stuck new parts into the engine and called it a rebuild but nowhere in the logs did it say "rebuild" or "overhauled". No where could I see where there was a statment of what was done to the engine or even if the case was opened. There was not one 337 to be found anywhere. This was a '73. There should have been an entire book of them along with AD's. Good records tell a story and the people you want to associate with keep every reciept and vollenteer everything. Bad people think that skimpy records somehow gives them the benefit of the doubt and you have to play twenty questions to get information. Walk away.
