I have heard so much good here about a little tractor shop down in Western Ky. I loaded up and took my old 560 there. I got a call it was done so I went to get it expecting a reasonable bill! But what I got was a real shock. When I drove up the 560 was setting outside on the pad. I walked by it and gave it a quick look and went inside and found the old repairman working on a 460 that he had scattered all over. I greeted him and asked what I owed him? He started out telling me it was going to be a little more money and I thought here we go! I asked how much more? He looked me square in the eye and said machine shop had to replace 2 valves we had not planned on and it came to $48.00 more. I told him I had no problem with that, and he went over to his cluttered desk and handed me the final bill for removing the engine cleaning it, taking the cam out checking it and the bearings,taking the crank out cleaning the block, put new mains and rod bearings, new front and rear seals.Mic the sleeves cleaned the pistons, checked the pin wear, installed new rings ,crossed honed the sleeves, put new gasket in the oil pump, had the head redone, new oil filter and oil, reset the antifreeze to_20 below tune the engine all new plugs,wires,cap rotor,points,replaced 2 water hoses, and replaced 1 battery cable end. The bill was $ 531.00 from the machine shop for the head, the rest of the bill for parts and labor came to $1071.00 for a total of $1602.00 dollars. As I looked at the bill he asked me if I thought it was to much? I told him it was ok! I paid my bill loaded up and left to ashame to tell him every other shop est for rings rod and mains was over $2500.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
