Brian,

A few months back my neighbor drove up with his Massey 135 and a bushog with a busted up (cracked and torn) rear housing. (This is a neighbor who has spoken to me about twice in 8 years.) He asked me if I could fix up the bushog and that he would pay me. I ended up doing the job--it took over 2 hours of heating, cutting, banging and welding and I also wire-brushed/painted the repaired areas. When he came back to pick it up the next day, he asked me how much he owed and I told him $50. He told that was too low and insisted I take another $25. Eventually he convinced me to take an extra $20 and explained how much he appreciated the work and my being so fair on the price. He had called a welding shop in town and they quoted him $150 plus materials and he would have to load the tractor and trailer it into town. Bottom line--he was happy to pay for the work even though we were "neighbors"....
