Well myself my rate today is 55 and hour plus travel time . Then one of these days you'll get into something that will requier special tools to do the job and when ya start buying this and that and see what all this stuff costs you'll start thinking that that your rate is to low . I worked on them for 19 years for a living and when i started i had a wright nice tool collection and thought that would do me it was not long before i need this and that to do a job then came running all over 4 states tryen to buy the special tools from dealer close outs , well i have massed over the years the whole I H special tools for all I H's up to the 88 seires and that is what 99 %of my work was on but ya always had someone that had and off brand that just had to have you work on his and ya hated to turn work away . Well towards the end i was getting guys that wanted me to work on there industral equipment and after doing one 580 B case backhoe i drew the line in the sand and said no more industral . and started to turn away the off brands as it was getting out of hand and when ya don't have the special service tools things can go wrong and starts costing you.
