The Plot Thickens.

The friendly UPS driver who dropped off the motor came and picked it up for "inspection" today. I have a funny feeling that he's going to bat for me on this one. Although it's far from sure, I could possibly get a new motor out of the deal. His quote was "Don't expect a new Johnson 250, but don't worry". So far dealing with UPS has been reasonably pleasant, but we'll see how pleasant I am once it comes to check cutting time.
