taking the block, pistons/connecting rods, and crank out was NOT my idea of an easy job. give me an OBS powerstroke and i will pull the engine, rebuild it, and reinstall and i'm fine with it. pulling the block and then getting into the main case of that old a$$ tractor just straight up sucked! LOL. we just finished fixing up his John Deere A a couple months ago(paint, new tires, new grills, fixed the engine, stickers, etc.) then he got this one. I just can't remember what model it is. i do wanna say it's a 720 though. Did i mention that one of the pistons was rusted to the cylinder of the 720 so we couldn't just pull the block out?? that was a sucky thing too.

Not sure about the pay scale on HVAC techs, but the plumbing wages have been lowered around here because of the economy, The guys I had working for me averaged 25 for those with journeymen 18 for tradesmen and 12-14 for good helpers. Union Pays better but make sure they have work. If you make 1000 an hour with no work what good is it? I've known a few that have sat on teh bench for months, they would have been better off taking a 18$ an hour job and made more in a year then the higher pay and no work

I've been seeing journeyman plumbers 14-16 offered. Service techs 20-26. I assume when they say service tech they are refering to hvac. Hell I make more than they offer as a journeyman. I guess either they only give a low ball amount though. I'm not union.. I don't like them, the principle, what they stand for. I've had a lot of oppertunities to join. I wouldn't ever think of paying to learn and going to classes to do what I have been doing for dang near 10yrs. Lol not on a rant
