My tractor went from being a 'fun hobby' to a 'critical necessity' -according to my wife.
I was having fun working out how I am going to do some of the bigger repairs, for which I have few specialized tools to complete. So, this was a bit of a fun puzzle for me.
My wife said, (and I am paraphrasing) "My friends husband works on tractors. He has a shop. I have things for you to do, so here is his contact info. Your tractor is no longer a hobby, it is now a mission-critical tool."
...And just like that, a roll back came on Friday and took my tractor away.
There will still be work for me to do on it. I want to refurbish my 'rest-o-ride' seat and I still need to return it to its original paint scheme. I even want to make some modifications to the front grill to accommodate lights, yet it still feels like I am going to be on the 'side lines'.
I am saying this because it feels like I am cheating by paying a more experienced and knowledgeable person with a properly equipped shop to do the work I wanted to do, and so it better. But please understand, I am just doing what my wife told me to do. That's good, I guess...
