I did take the engine in, drop it off and say fix it....but I also told him to call me if it was anywhere near or over 1000 bucks. I did not have a formal written quote ( my stupidilty) After being involved in aviation, I didn't think it was possible to be surprised with a bill.
Supposedly he is a very reputable race/tractor pulling engine builder, but I told him I wanted it stock.
By the time I get this tractor done (engine, tires, paint, 3 pt. hitch and hydraulics, I'll have 5000 in it. Oh and the tractor was given to me.
