Paranoid about Parts?

I’ve sure had some bad experiences lately
with buying parts off the internet for restoring
tractors, be it YT for sale ads, replies to my YT
wanted ads or eBay. I get parts that aren’t
even the right part number, parts that are not
as described, parts with flaws not mentioned.
When this happens shouldn’t the seller refund
your money as well as stand the cost of
shipping - both ways? For example, I recently placed a wanted ad for
a swinging drawbar for a C/Super C. A guy
responded that he had one. To make sure I
was getting what I wanted I even sent him a
description, the weight, and the part number,
351 228 R11, along with money to cover the
agreed price and shipping it. When it arrived it
was the swinging drawbar for a Super C with
Fast Hitch, 359 580 R11, and weighed about
twice what the right one would have so he
says I owe him additional for shipping. Now
he won’t even confirm how much I will be
reimbursed if I send it back, but did offer to
reimburse me half the cost of shipping it back
once he received it. I hate to pour good money
after bad. (Anybody want to buy a NOS but
rusty swinging drawbar for a Super C with
Fast HItch?) Then on eBay, if I give a guy a
negative red mark feedback, he simply
retaliates with a red mark for my record.
There's no winning there! Sort of like a pissin'
contest with a skunk. What’s your experience here? Am I getting
old, grouchy and paranoid? I’m beginning to
think I won’t buy anything sight unseen again.
Sure wish there were more swap meets!

The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
