I can’t believe anyone would say anything like this about Dan. I have known him for 3 years and I do know that he does excellent work. If he didn't do good work he wouldn't have so many tractors lined up to restore. As for those who think he is expensive, what are you comparing him to? He charges about half the price of a John Deere mechanic for labor. The only reason I could think of why your consider he is expensive is because he will use only the best paint products. Good paint is expensive. Maybe its time for a few of you to come out of the stone age and realize that good things cost money. Sure you can buy cheap paint and slap it on yourself. That’s if you don't mind your tractor to have the luster of a cardboard box. The thing that sets Dan apart is that he is a perfectionist. He takes the time to do the job right. That’s the reason why he specializes in rare tractors. Don't be so quick to judge someone you don't know. I would highly recommend him if you want a tractor restored perfectly and you would like to meet one of the most knowledgeable people in the antique tractor community.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Very knowledgeable, and does outstanding work. I've personally talked to Dan, visited his shop, and viewed tractors restored by him at Two-Cylinder EXPO. I would not hesitate having a tractor restored there.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I had to end up using some sort of adhesive to stick the tag back on the tractor. Needless to say, I will NEVER have him do anything for me again   [Reply]   [No Email]
