Entertaining and surprising visit to CaseIH dealer today

Ran by my local CaseIH dealer to pick up some things today for my F-12. 30w oil, filter, and happened to have the pilot bearing with me that I wanted to replace.

Parts guys were flooded and who seemed to maybe be one of the mechanics stopped to help me. I grabbed my own oil off the shelf. He seemed stumped when I told him a filter for an F-12. Then even more confused when I said it was the same as the tall filter for an early H. So he messed around on the computer a min and gives up. Grabs a book from under the counter. Asks me again...for an F-12 or H? I reply yes. Then he asks if those are actually a tractor. At that point I had to laugh a little. I noticed in the index of the book what page the IH tractors started cause he was thumbing through all the CaseIH models and told him what page to turn to. He was surprised to see Farmall H right there on that page! I'm not at all making fun of the guy..or kid..was maybe in his mid 20s. I just think it's funny that someone working for such an establishment wouldn't know the history of his company. It should be required that the mechanics work on some of the older stuff from time to time.

The surprising thing of the day was I showed them the pilot bearing. Pulled the number up on the computer and they had it in stock! Who would have guessed that part number from 1937 would still be listed?
