I'll admit I've never had any work done at a shop until this week. I'm rebuilding my MF 230 Perkins that spun a rod bearing. I took the crank and pistons to a shop recommended to me by some very good mechanics that does their work. Well I picked them up yesterday and I did a little dickering and got the price to $185.00 for reworking the rods and turning the crank. That may be a good price I don't know. I asked him how much to change the sleeves out if I furnished the sleeves. He said $300.00. Now that seems a bit much to me what do you guys pay for something like that? It's got me to thinking if the ones in it look good and the pistons look good I might just leave that alone. After all it only ran for a couple of years on a major overhaul before the pump wet out and spun the bearing and it never run hot when it did. All help appreciated. Thanks.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
