Hey there Mike, Im NOT any trained or professional "electrician" (longggggg retired distribution design engineer) however I wouldnt bet the farm on your statement:
"I would totally expect if I called an electrician given how intermitant this has been they would find nothing ,but an expensive bill"
While that may be true, a trained experienced professional may be able to determine the cause EVEN IF ITS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY as they know where and what to look for such as evidence of arcing,,,,,,,,loose connections,,,,, faulty breakers perhaps EVEN WHERE A NON TRAINED LAY PERSON MAY NOT FIND THE CAUSE.
I enjoy helping whenever I can here on electrical related topics and when such a question is asked many come out of the woodwork with well intentioned suggestions (some right some wrong some professional some lay opinions) as they all seem willing to help just like most tractor loving folk tend to do and God Bless em all for that. There are likely trained professional electricians here, an engineer or two or three, untrained lay persons who have wired their own homes or shops and perhaps others with little training or experience BUT THEY ALL TRY TO HELP and I sure wouldnt fault anyone who in good faith and conscience advises seeking trained professional advice when the cost couldnt possibly exceed the risk of a persons life when it comes to electrical and fire safety.
Its your home and your money so the decision is yours so hope you find the problem either alone or with professional help and it could be as simple as a bad breaker or a loose connection or an appliance or an intermittent short
God Bless and best wishes to you and all the good folks here

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
