I have stopped doing almost any shop work other than for family and a few friends. An old customer of mine called me on Monday and wanted me to put a set of knives and a new shear bar in his forage harvester. I agreed to do that. So he brought it over this morning and dropped it off. It took me most of the morning to get them replaced and adjusted. I had it all ready to go just after lunch. While the chopper was here I checked out the rest of the chopper.
The Iron Guard was not working. He had it locked out. He told me that the sensor bar was bad. That was not the case. All that was wrong was the solenoid was bad. I told him it would need to be replaced, about $235 for the part. He said they did not chop hay any more and did not need it.
OK it is his chopper.
He made ONE round and ran a whole gathering chain through the chopper. Wiped out all the knives and shear bar. Plus the blower band and paddles. Was pretty hard on the back of the chopper box too.
So he brought it back to me to "fix" again. My sons jumped in and helped this time. We just got it done a little while ago. This time I fixed the Iron Guard.
His saving $235 cost him over $1500 plus labor. I told him to take it to town the next time. I am done with this BS type of stuff. I don't like to not fix things that are not working. Should have just fixed the Iron Guard and let him complain about the bill.
