That $11 an hour is exactly what I was making when I retired after 41 years as mechanic at local IH, CASEIH, and Deere dealer. Often, over the earlier years, as the only mechanic in the shop. That was 18 years ago now and I think they are making about 40 % more now down there on average. Wages are something people are reluctant to tell you what they get. I never was. I had health insurance, as only benefit and Deere dealer bought my uniforms. Of course I started out at $.91 in 1958. Back then I could buy four gallons of gasoline for my car with hour wage and when I retired I could buy four gallons for hour pay. Had no hospital insurance for the first 11 years. Right now, I have out lived my saved or accumulated money. Keep on paying into that social security fund guys.
Oh, shop rate was $2.50 when I started and $47 when I left. Close to $100 now. And so it goes. I am out dated.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
