No ideas on the tractor. Based on what I have seen, I think everyone else has covered the bases on that so far.

I just wish you lived here in NC as I'd love to have a young guy, with your abilities and drive, to help me. As it is I've got a list of nearly 30 jobs I'm doing my best to get finished, or get to. Then, top that with either emergency stuff, or more regular jobs, coming in nearly every day and to say I am swamped with work would be an understatement. Heck I had two more calls, each with yet another job, to put on the books on Monday.

The problem is finding someone that can do all the things my customers expect of me, be it welding, machining, electrical, hydraulics, mechanical repair, or a combination of any of them. Heck, I know, or know of, quite a few of the competition, and none of them do the range of work I get called on to do. In other words I can't even say the guys are there, but working for themselves, because that's not true either.

I did see where it was mentioned about doing jobs, and the liability involved. If it's an issue, and doing welding work it very well could be, check around on liability insurance. I carry a million main policy, with a million aggregate. It only costs me around $650 a year. A lot of guys don't carry that much, but without it I can't get into places like the Railroad shop, quarries, or some of the other places one of my other customers needs me to work in when subbing on one of their jobs. Usually the RR and the customer I sub for are line boring jobs. Given what I charge for that, the insurance more than pays for itself in one day of work.

Have any friends in NC, or care to move here...??????
