Seems to me that all the replies here are from business operators or owners of some sort . I'm fairly new to working on tractors but not to working on motorcycles , cars or pickups . I don't see the difference between the four types . Parts are parts . If it's the first time rebuilder so what ? The dealer may work with million dollar custumers . That , in my opinion , doesn't make them special -only arrogant . Everybody deserves equal time at a parts counter . How does that parts guy know how much you are going to spend in the long run ? It may be a three dollar part today that takes two hours to find for an antique tractor but if he's nice and helpful tomorrow it might be a $15,000 electronically controlled transmission for a newer machine purchased elswhere . I worked a parts counter at a motorcycle shop for years as a teen and sometimes the most unlikely person spent the most money . I don't hesitate to ask questions at the parts counter . If there are more than a couple of people waiting I let the others go first if all I need is answers . I'm so glad the dealers around here don't have the attitude I hear on here all the time . Not everyone farms 2000 acres and has money falling out of their wallets like is implied on these forums all the time , some of us have to be frugal . If it takes two hours to locate a part that should cost twenty dollars and they want $120 for it I have no problem at all saying thank you for looking , if I don't find it somewhere else cheaper then I'll be back . The dealers I work with also work on their own antiques and fully understand . Some of them will tell me where to get a aftermarket of equal or better quality too . ...Randy
