So, there's a bit of a story behind this one.
A "friend" was on me and on me to replace a bearing for him on his Argo, he couldn't help of course for one reason or another. On and on for weeks, so finally I caved. He didn't have money for parts, but figured that I would probably have something that would work.
<sigh>
I told him that I would take care of it, but that it would NOT be new parts, I would put an old brng and seals in that were still good, but not good enough.
I haul my ass out of bed early to run to his place to pick his machine up before work. He's not feeling well, so stays in bed while I deal with flat tires and load up.
Anyway, I take it out to the bush with me, end up replacing 2 bearings, change the brake fluid, tighten chains, clean clutches, ect. I call him up to tell him it needs more work, but that I'm not willing to put any more time into it.
He said "Oh ya, don't drive it around, I just got the motor rebuilt and it's not broke in yet"..............WTF
My co-worker and I (he was helping me) put our heads togeather and worked it out, between us we had the equivalent of about $900.00 into the machine between labour and parts. We knew we were not getting paid, and now the guy doesn't even want us to take a little test ride in it
WHATEVER
