Anyone willing to let us use some tools?
 
We are only here this time for 2 weeks and of course our starter/generator went out in the gold cart. My husband is absolutely capable of changing it but does not have his "workshop" here. Was hoping to find someone that has more tools than the limited household favorites and would be willing to let him use them. No worry about how he would care for them....he cleans his tools every time he uses them and they always are put away.
So, gents, are any of you willing to help us out? He hates to pay someone else to do work he can do himself because, 99% of the time the "professionals" DO IT WRONG and he has to correct their errors. Anyone willing to help us out please give us a call. Thanks a bunch! 864-419-4353

Sadly, I only have the usual tools. However, I believe you might be able to rent at least some of the tools from either Lowe's or Home Depot. Good luck!

Wish I was there in The Villages right now, I am sure I would be able to help you out. Good Luck and hope some wonderful Villager comes through for you.

I have all of the tools you need, including a hydraulic lift and jack stands. Send me a private message.

roggie49 05-08-2014 01:10 PM

Thanks to all!!
 
I am in AWE of all of the helpful Villagers that came through for us....though I didn't see these responses until he had already managed to get it out with pliers, a wrench,etc. (He is not a procrastinator....lol) We were able to buy a reconditioned one locally as well, so he is a happy camper. However, if y'all don't mind, I will keep your contact info for future info....we may become friends down the line....especially if any of you are handymen too!

Thanks again!....and kittygilchrist, we live in Sunset Pointe....in the villas next to Cane Garden CC.

I am a tinker and handyman, have been doing my own repairs for decades. Managed to take most of my smaller tools south. Large ones stayed north :-(. Anyway, I do have my welder, drills, wood and metal saws, sockets, etc., and lots of electrical repair equipment. Currently restoring a '66 Mustang Fastback..............

Always will to lend a hand.
