Just wondering how the guys on here that work on customer tractors figure a estimate? Is there a flat rate book for old tractors? Never had my D 15 in a shop mostly thanks to good help from you fellas. Thanks

Thanks guys I don't need to know, just curious. Heard some car dealerships pay their guys half of the flat rate? I'd rather someone working on my vehicle wasn't in a big hurry. Just saying

Ac had flat rate manuals. I have a few but never used them. Just a nostalgic thing to look through. Not really interested in running a shop at this time!

Just my humble opinion, but to the best of my knowledge, flat rate is based on averages. So, some mechanics will be above FR, and some will be below. I believe it would be a bell curve. But, in no, or very vary rare cases will a man be consistently performing at half FR. If he does, there would be something horribly wrong. and, if a dealer is demanding half FR from his crew, he is encouraging shoddy workmanship, again, in my ever so humble opinion.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27
