good news,and bad

why can i not find a reputable shop to rebuild ANYTHING???
my truck is now in the starter rebuilder shop till monday to get a starter rebuilt, after they built it in january. they didnt do the whole rebuild before, just the faulty part.

but, my business is goin GREAT for my first year mowing! i just bought another mower, and am taking on a new partner. he has access to ALOTTA good accounts. a lawyer around here is building some assisted living homes, and we get the contract from grading to seeding to landscape to mowing ad maintinance. its goin great. found a used 600 hour grasshopper 54" cut zero turn with a 20hp kohler engine in very good shape for $2500! the dealer has one just like it for over $5,000. the Good Lord is blessing and we're growing. i been to busy to post much lately, 12-14 hour days every Monday, TUesday, thursday friday and saturday and 8 hour days on wednesday.

This is EXACTLY why I NEVER take my trucks ANYWHERE to get them worked on.

If I can't fix it, it goes to the Dealer. The dealer = Ford Truck Center. Expensive but the job is done correctly.

I've had bad experiences with them too...
2 stroke- glad to hear all is going well with the business.
Some advice my dad gave me when i started running firewood-
"grow too fast and lose your A**"
you take on too much at a time and you wont be able to handle it. take it easy, and look deep into the next step before taking it...
good luck!
