Bought a TSC quality back blade in winter for snow and poo... Blade is fine for what I need but caught it in some frozen stuff and bent the swivel area some and made it sloppy..... Still worked "ok" for poo but I was too aggravated with myself to use it much and it was just setting in a corner.... Noticed it gone last week and figured my favorite neighbor kid or his dad had it. Asked 2 days ago and they hadn't seen it....
Yesterday evening, neighbor kid was nearby with his tractor when I was driving up and there was tracks on the property (a little mud)...

Blade was back all straight, reinforced/braced, and painted all red again....

Don't know if I should get upset cause he lied to me or not.... :roll:
 
We are lucky, I have a neighbor like that, kinda makes me raise my standards for myself. If you know what I mean.
 
(quoted from post at 06:01:53 05/08/12) i would think he would be your used-to-be-favorite kid. i'm not sure i would even want him around my property.

That was more of tongue in cheek account......

He borrows stuff as he needs it and I do from them also... He just took it to fix it because he knew I didn't have the time, equipment, and gumption to do it myself... He said they didn't have it so he could surprise me I guess..... Only real problem I have now is how to pay him back :roll:
 
One little wrong shouldn't spoil a big right.

I've done such repairs for friends and family under the guise of
"borrowing" , with permission, what ever I wanted to fix.

I'd thank them profusely and not mention the fib.
 
Don"t think I would be upset. From what you"ve said about him, if he wanted to borrow it, he would have asked.

I agree with Manson. He probably noticed the damage and fixed it for you gratis.
 
Sounds similar to something I did yesterday afternoon. I saw an older neighbors truck outside his garage, and his Cub Cadet UTV in the garage. He had asked me a while ago to help him take the plow off, and we hadn't gotten around to it. One pin was off the plow, tools all over and WD-40, so I removed the plow, moved the Cub to where he parks it, put his truck in the garage, shut the door, and shut the door on the house garage while he was watching TV and he never knew I was there. He must have thought he was going senile or had a thief when he did not see the truck he had parked in the driveway. After a laugh he asked me how much $ I wanted because he couldn't get the pins out. I said his reaction was enough.
 
(quoted from post at 12:32:44 05/08/12) I'm sure glad you caught him redhanded. I would hate to see you wondering how you forgot you fixed it.

you say that as a joke... But you just don#t know me......... Actually sounds like you do tho :roll:
 

Sounds a little like here, many years ago...

if it was "Time" to cut Hay..the neighbors might be waiting in the drive..for you to get out and start cutting..!!
Seemed, most of the neighbor s worked back and forth that way....sure made it easier..
Too bad they had to get Old...they are all gone, now..
Those were "GOOD Times"....!

I have neighbors that we do the same thing. He fixed my tractor while I was in a meeting. The next day he said he was going to bale his hay when he got off of work at 6:00pm. At 6:00pm his hay was baled, and a load on my stack wagon heading towards his farm. Sometimes paybacks are hell, and others are fun.
 
As they say "be grateful for small mercies". Your bankbook can't afford to get rid of him.
Laugh it off.

Buy quality next time.
