I must admit, the smaller stuff I have done. I have taken parts off, cleaned, painted, replaced, wiring, gauges, ect. I have one machine fully apart to repaint and everything.
With that being said, I was not going to put a 40 year old engine back in a fresh clean tractor, so I had a friend rebuild. He runs a mechanic shop and has built race engines for years now. I gave him a print out of the manual and asked him to take his time and maybe give a little discount (for working on it when he is slow, and taking other work first.) So far its half done, and cheap! He is sure it will be like a new engine when I get it all rewired and running!
In short, I do small stuff, people I know do big things! (I order and buy all parts)
