If you paid him more than $600 you have to give him a 1099.
Do that and you can write off the repairs to your business vehicle.
I hope the tax break covers the damages and wear & tear.
How did he blow out the rear end?

I got his SSN today, so he will receive a 1099. All repairs are deductible anyway. Can't sue him, since I hired him to operate it.
He trashed the rear end through lack of attention and normal maintenance. Equipment requires daily maintenance, and he knew this very well, as well as knew it was expected from him. If he had been doing it, he would have noticed either the twine wrapped around the driveline and into the seal, or the oil being slung on the bed and tires. Not using it till it started vibrating...it didn't happen overnight. As did several other things!
