Bought a really nice little Stihl 015L at an auction last Saturday. Owner died about 5 years ago, and carb all gummed up. Used to work for Stihl dealer about 10 years ago, and know my way around Stihl stuff.
Went into local dealer in the town where I work, to order a carb kit. Was told they are NLA, kid the. Tried to sell me a complete carb...until he declared them NLA also.
Frustrated, I called a friend who owns Stihl dealership 75 miles away. 5 minutes later, he tells me he has it in stock, along with other stuff I needed. Wife had to run up there to meet a client, so sent her by to pick up. All in all, got a nice little saw for about $30 total, but this parts thing has me ticked off.
Any time I go to this dealer, a big Agco chain, they always tell me things are no longer available, only to find out they are.
Doesn't anyone know how to look up parts anymore? I'd go elsewhere, but they are the only one anywhere close.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
