We had another customer that had his tractor hauled in because the bendix fell off the starter and was laying in the bell housing, this happened while the tractor was running so it damaged some teeth on the flywheel. The shop rate is $65 an hour plus parts and by the time we were done he had about $500 in it, he got all pissed because he thought the bill should have only been $100 and didn't want to pay for the flywheel gear because he didn't think a few missing teeth was a big deal, he also wasn't happy that we put a new bendix on, he thought we should have just reused the old one that fell off. After that he ran around town saying he owned stock in our business because he spent so much money here and some other B.S. A couple months later he needed his tractor worked on again but we told we weren't interested.
