[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 5712722, member: 2119"] Just doing something simple helps me, even if it's only setting a mole trap. You feel like you have achieved something or at least tried. I'm in a dilemma at the moment and it's bothering me. I have two tractors, a Lambo 105 with a serious sounding transmission noise and a Case 1494 with a bust hydrashift. Is it really worth spending Christmas in a cold workshop up to my armpits in oil raving them apart to attempt but not necessarily solve the problems while maybe spending £3k on parts. Or is it better to sell them to my exporter friend for a reasonable sum at least enough to buy one decent secondhand replacement more fitted to my purpose nowadays. Something in me tells me I should fix the problems and there would be satisfaction and learning if I am successful but something else tells me I am in the business of farming not spending hours in the workshop earning more or less nothing but standing still. Reading the manual for the Lambo I see the need for all sorts of factory made gauge pieces to set things back up again. It's not a trivial job and once I have started I am committed. This is the sort of thing that I find very difficult to find motivation to attempt these days. Yet not doing it feels like giving in. And I'm kind of stuck at a mental impasse procrastinating and it gets me down. Sorry for going off thread a bit but these are the kind of issues that impact on me, especially at this time of year.
