Hire it done. You'll cut the harvester a check when he's done and it's over with. No arguments over what to fix, who used it more, no arguments that the hydro went out cause someone's field is hillier, softer, muddier than the other person's, and no static from the two wives (yes, I've seen it).
Combines cost a bunch of money to keep maintained. A bearing goes out, wears the shaft, the shaft breaks, goes cockeyed, throws a chain off the sprocket, chain wraps and bends another shaft.

He's a darned good mechanic and he knows how to run it right. Are you up to it? Jim
