My BIL is one of those guys always trying to save a buck. The summer after I retired from the Army I was at his place. They had the combine torn apart. A paddle chain broke and took a shaft out. BIL had to buy a new shaft at 500 bucks. I saw the chain on the ground and told him he needed to replace it.

About 100 hours into the rebuild something in the pump let got and over sped the engine. 5K rebuild down the toilet. He just went though this again on another tractor. Had the engine gone through this time paying for a rebuilt pump. Didn't want to pay for new seas on the front of the tranny while it was split.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
