Didn't want to highjack the other thread....
Can be considered tractor related cause there are tractor mechanic too....
Just replaced a half shaft on my BIL's car for him. He was quoted almost 300 dollar for just labor. Guy told my BIL that you have to drop the pan and get inside the tranny to remove a clip to get the half shaft out (new one on me). I did it in the drive, without using air tools and not working fast, took 1 1/2 hours. He got the quote from a shop that I worked in about 12-13 years ago. Owner at that time was pretty honest or I wouldn't have worked there. His rates are 65 an hour. The guy has gotten sloppy the last few years and has gotten a reputation for doing poor work, being real slow and now is working on being known as a liar. Kinda sad.
Guess I gotta go pay my old boss a visit and talk to him about taking advantage of my family......

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
