Yup, it's time to haul the old girl into the shop, sand her down and put on some fresh graphite, maybe repair a few cracks on the loading ramps, check your chains, lube your ratchets (we recommend spray Teflon, which you can usually find at the local auto parts store).

Are the screw actuators on your Boydstun screw truck squealing like pigs? Try getting the SL-3195 Stayplex red grease... made by Staylube. You can get it at most NAPA stores. It is water repellent and should last you a couple weeks between applications. IF you want to save money, you can get a 120 lb keg of it for around $400. (This is the stuff they're using on the Toyota car haulers.)
