DH spent most of the day with a tractor mechanic. We thought we had an $800 part go out. Turns out it was that part, but not the entire part--just a $9 relay switch inside it. Still had to pay the labor to the mechanic, but we got off with a $159 bill instead of more as we thought.
We also lowered the bill by splitting the visit fee with some other farmers. We all scheduled the mechanic the same day, so he split up the visit and milage fee between us all. (living where we do, milage kills you as most deisel tractor mechanics are in KC)
Good news from DH
