Bob, we have a local CIH dealer with a parts lady who can walk right to the shelf and grab the 1" bearing or chain link, or whatever, and have the customer back out the door in five minutes. On the other hand, I went to a CIH dealer in Idaho for a 1" bearing w/cam lock collar, for inside the cross auger in a 1010 CIH platform and the young parts man had to know the model of combine I was working on.

Speaking of Deere's parts prices, I was at the local Deere dealer this morning and they had a Weber gas grill with the Deere name on it. I happen to have one here at home that I bought at the local Ace Hardware so I asked him how much they were asking for the Deere grill. It was $799.00, a few dollars LESS than whatI paid for mine. He said customers would ask him what the price tag was and when he would tell them they would gasp and say it's so high because of the Deere name on it. I told him he could use my name as a witness to the fact that the Deere grill was a little cheaper than the one at the hardware store. Jim
