Time to Inframe?

It is unfortunate and the timing could always be better. BUT the expense of an inframe is something I knew would eventually need to be done to any used tractor that I was looking to purchase. It was something I was planning for even before I started my business. But planning and reality don't always match up and in my case a few rookie business mistakes along with an unrelated personal issue set a series of events in motion that had me close to bankruptcy twice in 2019/early 2020. From the time I left Rawze's in the end of Feb I was finally able to dig out of the hole and be in position to move forward with some confidence. There's still a long way to go, but even with this situation I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and for once it's not a freight train.

I will say a big THANK YOU to everyone here. Whether you know it or not your comments, stories and experiences have helped me. Not just to become more mechanically proficient, but business wise too. I don't think I would still be operating right now if it wasn't for this community and Rawze, who makes it all possible.
