If you don"t like waiting then schedule your service calls fist thing in the morning. Make yours be the first. Then the service man is not held up by longer repair times.
I have been a service manager at several implement dealers over the years. Scheduling service calls is the hardest thing to do. The man from Sears More than likely had a few call that morning that went faster than they where scheduled.
How do you account for the call where they tell you the fan belt need replaced and you get there and find out that the hydraulic pump drive had come a part taking the belt with it??? Fan belt is a hour job. Fixing the pump drive is a three hour one. So how would you like the repair man to work his hour at your place and then leave just to keep his schedule? You would be hopping mad and bad talk the man to no end.
This scheduling issue is one reason why I don"t work on anything away from my shop anymore. Plus it is harder to do a good job without all of the things you might need.Also many of the tractors I work on need a good washing before you can even see what is wrong. I am not going to repair a hydraulic problem on a tractor covered in mud and then have a piece of dirt make me pay for the after repair. I asked the guys to have their equipment reasonably clean. If it is not, then they are pay shop labor rate for me to wash it off.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
