My brother had an ex-John Deere tech come out to his shop to work on his combine. When I say "ex-John Deere" tech, I mean he was a factory John Deere tech for about 15 years and now is an instructor at a John Deere school. This guy stays in touch with the John Deere shop that used to employ him. While he was working on my brother's combine, he casually mentioned that a local farmer had his combine in the John Deere dealership for a (what should have been) simple adjustment of the header. The tech worked on the header for two full days before he gave up and had the instructor look at it. Turns out it was a malfunctioning sensor on the header that could only be diagnosed with a laptop, but the tech wasn't able to figure it out.

Last I heard, the dealership was going to try to talk the farmer into a bunch of other maintenance work on his combine, because they had no idea how they were going to bill this farmer for two full days of work that shouldn't have taken two hours.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
