Got a call ... and found a mess

Heck, my FIL would have bought me a new tractor NOT to have married his daughter.:laughing:

So then... Looking back, did you make the right decision??:laughing:

Yeah, but I'm not so sure, but what my wife at times may disagree.:laughing:

Actually over time my father in law and I became very close.

WOW! You married his daughter and he threw in a tractor. Talk about a sweet deal.

Sounds like he really wanted to get rid of the daughter.

Maybe the deal was free daughter with tractor?? I think New Holland runs that type of rebate every couple years.

We were married for 30 years before he bought the tractor

I guess he wanted to make sure you were a keeper before he invested any money.

Ha,ha - funny posts. It might be a good idea to set down the law on who will diagnose/maintain the tractor. Knowing how some people treat other folks equipment - I've never lent my tractor to anybody. Example - I lent out my splitting maul once - it came back with just the head and a new handle that I had to install. At least they bought a new handle. I don't loan out my anvil either.

I dont think I would have kept as calm as you did.

My tractor does get used by others from time to time. Stuff happens and things fail. What would really upset me is if some hack-wanna-be-mechanic decided to take it upon themselves to start tearing things apart.

If somethings stops working right, leave it alone and let me deal with it please.

I lend nothing. I will use my tools at someone elses place, but the tools come and go with me. End of discussion. I don't borrow tools either.
