I need opinions! I took my 3500 Ford industrial tractor into the local Ford dealer because the hydraulics were not working well at all. Last week I took the pump off and went to see about a new one, and they said it was likely not the pump. They wanted to test the system first. I asked what that would cost, and the service manager said 1/2 hour labor and our rate is $62.00 per hour. I said so no more than $50.00 to test the system? yep. So I took the pump back home, put it on the tractor, and hauled the tractor into the dealer. Went to check on the test results this afternoon, and they said well the pump is shot, only putting out 500lbs of pressure. It took us 3 1/2 hours of labor to test it though, so your shop bill is a little over $200 so far. What!! You said less than $50. The reply was well the book said 1/2 hour labor, but things didn't go well so we can't go by that. Now where do I go from here???? I can't afford to pay 4 times the estimated price on fixing this thing! So, I was now told the price was $1100 for a new pump, new oil, and the labor to install it. I'm just afraid the $1100 will turn into $2500 by the time it's all said and done. What should I do???

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
