We have all been there where a part is not available for something we are working on. The shop cost is getting to high not just for tractors but autos as well.

IMHO it is not always about how much it costs to repair but rather it becomes as much a labor of love and pride in being able to fix it yourself.

Take my current two projects that are getting close to completion (at least I hope). One is the Ford 960 that was given to me not running. Got the electrical to the point where it runs with just a few more electrical items to go and finish the carb rebuild. Two is the 1996 Jeep Cherokee that I bought from my Dad. Again only a few more items to replace before it too is road ready. Have done all of the work possible myself with friends helping.

Not only does this allow me to spend time with good friends but also I get to see the results of my labor. By doing these things ourselves I believe that we also tend to not abuse the equipment but rather use it as intended.

These are things that the youth of today seem to be missing out on (not all but most) as they would rather play video games or be texting than actually outside learning something useful.

Just my 2 cents on this one.
