One thing that has troubled me is the intent to modify this new machine, run it then if it doesn't work make it look as though no work was ever done to retain warranty coverage or pass it on to an unsuspecting buyer. This approach seems to be more common than I had hoped.

This is what bothers me most about Fred, that is why I commented on the covering of the VIN plate.
Personally I feel if he was a up standing guy he would live by his convictions that he is going to do not harm to that tractor by upgrading it.

In other words
Morals mean something more than mechanical skill

live by his convictions that he is going to do not harm to that tractor??
 
   / I Still Hate My Tractor #453  
yes, that is what I said

he sounds quite convinced he is not going to hurt it, why cover his bases by covering the VIN plate, otherwise it seems to me he does not seem to be living by his own convictions

Got the feed line made tonight, PITA. Bloody fingers and had to make a tool to get the braided line to start into the nut. I will replace this line once I source the hard line and banjo fittings.

Enough room under the hood for a muffler of some type. Might be a glasspack from a VW bug not sure yet :)

Fred

Should smell like a car show in the Spring once I fire it up and get all that fresh paint burned off.

I have made a bunch of lines over the years for race (sprints)cars, a couple wraps of duct tape and cut the hose with a cutoff wheel usually keeps the fraying to a minimum allowing you to get the fitting body screwed on.

Oh now I gots it. Tanks. What would we get from seeing the Vin plate.

It is not what we would see, but what Bota would be able to document when he places a warranty claim

Ill tell ya what, you buy that damaged engine from him for good money and I will get over it

I also own a Kubota L3940. If his work improves the performance and power, I'll ship my tractor to Fred and pay him to do the same to mine. If it does not work, than I doubt there is any harm done to the engine. Remove turbo and back to factory specs.

and if he damages the engine and he sells it as if no mods were made to it, I am sure you would put your money up for it as well.

So I assume you are one of the guys who sells a flooded vehicle after a hurricane....

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT IS THERE?
:rolleyes:
