..just cause i will be to busy to care...
why can't in laws leave well enough alone?
After three years of tenseness on the farm (live within 75 feet of each other) we are finally starting to get along. We, hubby and i feel comfortable enough to share some of the changes we are going through on the farm. So why do they have to mess it about?
we have a 7' mower 3pt. It's been on the farm as long as they have. It't in rough shape. The tractor we have that runs it is our only 3 pt, and it's having some engine problems, slight but it's soon time to fix.
Here is the deal, the mower has been retired, we own it. We have a nine foot with a good tractor that works well. The tractor we are trying to use a little as possible to keep it going until we have the funds to fix. It's a massie35 with a 3cly perkins. It's known for blowing head gaskets and droping sleives in the engine block. Right now it has JB weld on the sleives to create a level surface for the gasket. So the tractor is used for the garden tiller, garden cultivator and the post hole auger. That is it. We are just routing $ where really needed.
The FIL wanted to hook up the broken mower and use it. Hubby says no, it's broken, going to cost to fix, we don't need it, we have a nine foot and a haybine, use what we have. I should mention that we pay all the bills, FIL pays no fuel, oil, or repairs. He instead works a few hours a week to "pay his share of the expense" so to speak. And he has free use of all machinery.
We say no do not fix, oh yes it needs to be fixed, It's a good mower.
Hello, we bought it, we pay the expensses, if we do not want it fixed why can they not leave it at that? He did not even ask, Just we are going to fix it cause we want it fixed. Its 58 years old. It's seen better days,
uggg
