Kent, you are on thin ice, expecting concern for
restoring your old iron. Even hobby restorers,
doing 'keepers', face difficult decisions of
compromise on component condition. The Tech, at
a repair shop, replaces a blown clutch, hardly
notices more than his sheet states he must. I
had an old tractor split, last winter, to save me
some brute labor;planned to do further detail
work, myself. I discovered the dealer Tech stuck
any length bolt into the frame/etc. Threw many
in the trash. I spent the spring/summer getting
nearly all his poor-attitude, $50/HR work redone.
Confronting the dealer, he dismissed it,"oh, some
bolts missing?" No one is interested in details to restore an old tractor, except the owner. You
may work 'with' someone, but your watchful eye is
required daily.
