Heres a little different twist on this,what if the buyer of the brackets had needed just them and not the loader for his own tractor?. Would he then have been justified in your mind of buying them seperate? It really goes both ways. And ive been in both situations,or on both sides of the fence so to speak. I know many folks around here who make a living from these sales,and in fact i rarely go a week without going to at least one sale myself. I personaly wouldnt have charged the guy for the brackets, but i would have expected my money back (if i didnt need them). But I dont question the ethics of a man who makes his living selling these parts. 99% of the time i have a buyer in mind when i buy a piece,and normaly i dont make any money when they buy it from me. freinds and aquantances simply let me know if they are hunting something and if i run accross one i'll buy it. But buisness is something else, if i were in that buisness i certainly would want to make a profit. TO ME, this is no difference whatsoever in a parts man buying a part from a distributor and reselling it to the public. As a parts man am i morally obligated to sell that part for say a jd tractor to a man for a lower price simply because he owns a tractor it fits? You CAN have morals and ethics, and a profitable buisness also. Would it have been morally or ethicaly right for the man who bought the loader ,to simply walk in the barn and take the brackets knowing someone else had bought them? the door swings both ways, on these deals. ITS not neccessarily morally/ethicaly right or wrong.Its simply buisness, and a buisnesses one reason for existing is to make money. in fact, theres plenty of folks who would argue that if a buisness doesnt make money,that in itself is morally and ethicaly wrong! the good book defines this pretty well, it says render unto Ceaser that which is Ceasers, and that which is gods to god. In other words keep your buisness seperate. buisness is not moraly or ethicaly right or wrong,only the people doing it has the right to decide. any one else is simply a judge,looking on.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
