Dave, "He lives in some dream world where you shouldn't have any kind of budget when fixing up a truly worn out machine but when questioned about how much it cost to fix, gets all huffy and bent out of shape." I never worried about cost of repairs,with my residuals from my music coming in all the time. It eases the financial burden that would bother anyone else. But since we are such great friends,lol, I will tell you,but keep it a secret, it cost only $280,000.01. The extra $.01 I included for your grand idea to cut 2" off the one side of the new to us track pads. I know your idea was priceless, and so well thought out, when you so graciously submitted that great idea to me.
"it wouldn't matter what I said, Lou would try to call me out" you have no idea how little I care about you, what I do care about is helping the OP get as much needed pertinent info for him or her.I am sure the OP has a brain and thought about hiring the work done,but dismissed it, and wanted to do it themselves.
" I've put a couple thousand hours on. A lot of them in adverse conditions" Dave be honest anytime you get on any machine, it becomes an adverse condition.I'm sure the first 1000 hours was you trying to figure out how to start it and breathe life back into the poor machine.Your Jack of all trades and master of NONE. It's apparent when you post a unhelpful reply for anyone asking a real question. If he asked what welding rod worked great for welding clay to sand,you could answer,maybe.Is it wet 7018 rod?
I never mentioned anything about your hose,all I said was with that $15.00 bolt how much more parts breakage was due to your inept mechanical skills? Or something to that effect.
Just because someone posts here,I would like to know how do you determine they cannot operate a machine?Is it maybe are you projecting your own abilities to others on operating machinery?
"I've done a few jobs where I had to fix up someones mess and it would have saved them a lot of money if they would have just hired it out in the first place" Dave be honest that "someone" was yourself,and you are just trying to justify your errors,and by calling it "someone else" you can sleep better. Just curious, LOU

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
