I love it when I can save money like thatYes, I can. Lighten up man I was just busting balls. I know that most people don't work on their equipment or have the means to do so.
I do most everything I can myself because I couldn't afford to pay someone else to do it. Especially a dealership who wants a RIDICULOUS amount for a part that pales in comparison to the installation cost.
For instance, I needed a water pump replaced on my Branson. Dealership up here wanted $500and some change for the part alone then quoted me for what I guess was a week long job. I guess mechanics make more than lawyers now.
Anyway, I took the old waterpump and found the original manufacturer (German pump number) and got it for $150. Took me a little more than an hour to replace it. So I saved nearly $1700 on a waterpump job vs taking it to a dealership. A ****ing waterpump!!!
Sorry, that wasn't supposed to go on like that. I'm done, I feel better.
