I went to the local IH dealer today looking for new boots for my SC touch control. Jimmy was his same old cordial self. (tho he probably mumbles under his breath each time he sees me coming) He knew exactly what I was talking about and looked them up in a mater of a seconds. I knew I was in trouble when he exclaimed "WoW" as he looked up the prices, and started giggling. $45.50 for each cylinder boot and $13.50 for each control valve boot. That is $118 plus tax, for 4 rather small leather boots.
I thanked Jimmy for his time and patience and as is typical, I left empty handed AGAIN. There has to be another boot that will work or I'll bet I can make something that will work for a few dollars. I can't imagine farming for a living and having to pay those high prices for parts for a machine I HAVE TO FIX.
Don't get me wrong I don't mind paying for parts. It's just I hate the felling I am being taken to the cleaners..
