Ive become my own engine machine shop out of necessity.
Locally theres only a couple of shops. One guy is a hack and way overpriced, Ive had the pleasure of redoing a bunch of his work, one fellow is good and Ill take work to him and he sends stuff to me, but hes getting up there and I dont know how much longer hes going to keep at it. The last guy is not allowed to touch anything of mine after he butchered a set of pin bushings in a set of John Deere rods. I would have left them alone had I known what kind of terrible job he was going to do.
Shops out in PA out in Amish country are plentiful, again, you have to be cautious. The one shop Ive used it excellent and reasonably priced. And theyre not using antique equipment, they have modern equipment.
What got me started was a shop out in Carlisle, PA managed to screw up a 24 valve Cummins cylinder head 3 times. Turns out the first nitwit that did it didnt replace the guides that were completely shot and you couldnt possibly cut round concentric valve seats if your life depended on it. Put it on the engine 3 times, popping out the intake every time. They made good on it, but it left a bad taste.
I just watched an online auction in eastern Ohio for a bunch of shop equipment and by the prices it looks like things brought good money.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
