I hate to agree with JD but I've passed on several things because of younger guys.
1. I really need a place to work in the winter. I was offered on contract for deed a small piece with a trailer house and almost new small shop building. Thing is the seller wanted me to buy it then rent the trailer to a young guy that I know. He isn't the problem, it's his circle of buddies who can't be trusted. No way I can leave thousands of dollars on tools there. The price of the place puts it so that I can afford it but with only 11 tillable I would have to rent the trailer to make it profitable. Just isn't in the cards.
2. I've helped a lot of younger folks from time to time most often getting stabbed in the back for my efforts. Not saying that all younger folks are that but the numbers are on the rise as far as I can see. I have a nephew who falls into that low life group. He has 2 kids. His wife works full time and he does concrete contracting on a small scale and as little as he can do. He moved into his grand others house when she went into assisted living on my BIL's farm. He will not help on the farm at all. Grandma passed. He thinks he should be given the farm and my BIL and his brother should rent it from him so will not have to work because he is witnesses at his church and is "doing Gods work".
But I've seen it go the other way too with guys my age too.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
