If the man called a shop to come out and look at it, they would charge a service call, mileage, and an hourly rate. It probably would cost more than the tractor is worth.
BUT, since you are not doing this as a professional shop, and helping a fellow club member, I would not even think of charging that much. You do have travel expenses, though.

I did not provide warranty, insurance, or the security of a professional shop so I did not feel justified to charge the same rates as they did.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
