Was always happy to loan stuff to my neighbor Charley, he would return it in better shape than he got it. Came home one time, and he had my baler spread over a half acre. Seems that the bull gear had broke a tooth, so he called another old machinist friend, and they made a new tooth with weld, and shaped it with a grinder. Also cut a new keyway so the gear would hit the power stroke on a different spot. He was all smiles- "That's the most fun two old guys have had in awhile!"
Had an arrangement where I loaned my equipment trailer to another friend twice a year- in spring he would go get his father-in-law's tractor, in fall he'd take it back. One year he brought it back a couple weeks late- Apologized, and said "It was getting kind of scruffy, so I sanded it down and painted it."
Another neighbor's baler jumped time and destroyed itself late in the haying season- he asked to borrow mine. I had one field left to bale- deal was, he would bale the rest of my hay first, then finish his own. All went well, and he brought it back all cleaned up and oiled up, and ready to put away for the winter.
The next spring, I had a need for a backhoe, and asked to borrow his- he said, "I don't loan out my equipment- sorry." Needless to say, from that point on, neither did I, at least to him.

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.
