[Farmall] Any advice on THIS problem (Off Topic...sorry)

[Frank DeWitt]

I could be wrong here but I would set up a reasonable bunch of 
chorus, and responsibilities.

I would include the ones you mentioned checking the fluids, changing 
the oil/filters, washing it down, and learning to drive it 
responsibly  plus a couple of unrelated things such as stacking wood, 
all to earn the tractor.

Put a higher value on it in his mind, and give you and his Dad a 
lever to help teach the safety issues.

Yes, my "made by my own  hand" light posts were dealt a dirty blow 
and I am in the "process" of  replacing them and the other damage done.
   That having been written, maybe Aaron (that is the boy's name, by 
the  way) would benefit from being given the "responsibility" for the 
old  112....checking the fluids, changing the oil/filters, washing it 
down  and all of that.  I guess I am heading toward a "focus" sort 
of  thing.  I could be totally off base...I am only trying.
