That is a tough situation. Things in his favor include: 1) You have some kind of relationship. 2) Sounds like you probably have made some money off of him. 3) The repairs took longer than intended 4) You didn't know that he was mowing another lawn nor did you specify what he could mow, and 5) he has actually told you about the hood damage. I guess I would collect the repair bill on the overturned mower. Then either he will mention the damage to the loaner or you will have to bring it up. He may primarily only recall the hood. I guess you are going to have to mention the gauge wheel and the scratches. You might have to remind him that the agreement was for him to cover any damages. Can the hood be repaired at a body shop with fiberglass?? Straighten and weld if necessary the gauge wheel. Sounds like the mower might be for resale???

Certainly, yes, he should pay you for reasonable expenses incurred in bringing the loaner back to prior condition. Like you said ....you are just going to have bite the bullet on this and move forward. I am sure I would feel the same way.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
