I say any time you drag a job out like that - you're already on thin ice. The bottom line is your reputation is ALWAYS on the line. If you bid on a job, do it, and do it well. Forgetting to call back, waiting too long for people to call you back - let's face it, it's nobody's fault but yours, and it's bad business. You got sloppy.
On top of that you fried some of their equipment.
If it was either of two - inexcusable delays OR blowing some equipment up - I'd say try to work with them. But you've got both against you.
Write a short apology and leave it.
In fact I've done a very similar things myself. Contracted to write some software for a company - kept putting it off, doing it in small pieces while doing other work. Finally got so ridiculous they wanted out, and said they'd pay me for the time I had into it. I apologized that I spread myself too thin with other jobs - and that I wouldn't consider charging them a dime for a half-a#*($#ed project I didn't complete.
I had no delusion that they'd ever hire me again for anything, but it was still the right thing to do.

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.
