Hey folks,
I got a local kid (mid 20's?) that is into everything. He helps everyone out and can do just about anything with nothing....
He's got a tractor with loader, an assortment of implements, a workshop stocked better than some garages, no girlfriend and lives with mom and dad. I had a pile of horse manure that got to the point that my smaller tractor would have been a couple of days on. He lives about 100 meters away and saw what I was doing. He shows up with his tractor and a dump wagon and took care of it/hauled it away. I tried to pay him and he wouldn't take anything, so I put money in an envelope and left it with his mom. It was in my mailbox the next day. He's always tinkering, and I had a couple of mopeds and an old motor. Dropped them off and he was pleased as pie. Now today, I have a wagon with a bent axle that I have been watching ebay for a replacement in the area. He stopped while I was fooling with the horses and we started talking about the wagon. He left, and when I was ready to go to the next pasture, shows up with his tractor to get the trailer. I asked if he had an axle, and he said he had a press. Took the trailer and left. I'm sure he won't want anything when it's done, but can't stand to take advantage of him (others do without a second thought). I don't have anything else as far as motors, etc to give him. Money doesn't seem to be an issue with the family, he works full time, dad is retired German army and agian from the post office. They paid cash for a 3 family house that they are renting 2 out and living in 1 .
What would you folks give in a case like this? He don't smoke or drink so Jack Daniels and Cigars are out of the question.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. 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
