One time a neighbor wanted to borrow my belt sander, so she could get many layers of paint off a table she was restoring. I told her that I would not loan it to her, but I was happy to give it to her, so long as I did not ever get it back. She started asking questions, so I explained that the table top would not likely be flat when she was done, it would be wavy. And I explained that sanding paint would raise clouds of dust, and since the table was an old one, the dust would likely contain lead, and be toxic, as well. She turned down my offer, and I still have that old belt sander. Darn. I think the guy with the damaged tiller should simply give it to the guy who borrowed it, and then buy a new tiller.

IâÂÂll hope itâÂÂs a simple cable matter since we had to rem the cable to weld. The initial problem was the 6âÂÂ- 4â loaned noticed the handles were not positioned as they were. The Bottom Line is my 45 yr Mechanical Friend Is Too Busy! to take his time even with all his equipment. The 45 yr Non Mechanical Friend will not look for or know a simple needed adjustment or etc.. In my case, we have enjoyed knowing/helping each other in many Fun Matters and Etc and hope this will not be a true issue. Unless we find something solid as damaged or needed adjustments, I feel our good visits, fishing and projects might be in the past.

I guess we are off to the Garden soon to see the complaint and hopefully a good solution (when my arm is twisted by both vs talk). More Zip-Ties vs one, a restricted twisted cable, un-painted weld is all I can visualize (that were to be taken care of after the weld), if there is no mechanical damage.

Satisfying Friends âÂÂFreeâ Can Be A Challenge!

A good rule to follow: Neither a borrower, nor a lender be!
I have found this to be true: Anybody who is too tight to buy their own equipment, or rent it from a place that does that, should never be allowed to borrow anything of mine!
I'll offer to do it for them, but no borrowing, unless a hefty deposit is made!
