I only have a 7000 planter for serious JD equipment, used to go into the JD dealer for stuff years ago, was good.
The new wave of help 10 years ago was pretty clueless, and talked down to me from behind the counter. Now, I am not making this up, he could not find a spool for my old JD disk, so I finally pointed - on the counter they had a display of willow buds and flowers, using the spool as a holder...... He couldn't find the bearing for the disk. An older guy walked by, looked at the one I brought in, reached around the shelves behind set one on the counter and kept walking.

But.....
Be thankful for the few years you still have a good dealership, if you do.

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
