Take a swiss Army knife with ya (I have the special ed. Black one--bought it in 1989) has a SAW and 25 other things (it's over an inch thick)
That knife has gotten me outta so many jams, it isn't even funny!
Used it to cut the hose on the car and jerry-rig the hose to work and tons of other things!
PS: Check all the Hoses and hose rings. Belts.. make sure all the liquids are topped off.. ect.
