You are just seeing that there are few "good" mechanics and a whole bunch of so-so mechanics. I used to get the job AFTER the other guy messed them up first as he was "cheaper".
I am glad I do not have to do that anymore. I am not sure I would have the patience to stand the BS anymore. It seems like both the customers and the shade trees guys are getting dumber as I get older.
I got a call just last week. The idiot owner of this JD 4450 tractor called and told me his power shift quit again. I went completely through it 4-5 years ago. He had ruined it by putting "cheap" hydraulic oil in it. The oil clearly said on the barrel that it was NOT for any hydraulic clutches. It eat the glue off all the clutch pads so they where no longer bonded to the metal plates they would just set there and free spin. Had to do the transmission, brakes and PTO clutch all at once as they all where ruined. This time he bought a "cheap" oil again and the clutch packs are shot again. He "saved" $250 a barrel on the oil. It only is going to cost him $5000-7500 to get the transmission repaired. Maybe even more I am not going to do it. I just do not have the time to do it with planting season right around the corner. Plus he will just tear it up again and I am taking things easier now.
