Whenever possible and practical, I do try to buy from local folks that I know. But, there are times when it is simply not practical.
Example1: I needed parts for my refrigerator. Went to the local Appliance parts store. They did not stock what I needed, and told me that it would take over a week to get it. Looked on the internet, and found what I needed and had it 3 days later for 1/5 of the price. That appliance parts store will not see me again, local or not.
Example2: I was doing a valve job on a car for a friend. Needed a replacement valve. Local parts store wanted $17 for a single valve. On the internet, I could buy an entire set for $86 delivered to my door in 2 days. Same brand, same manufacture.
I have to say that I would prefer to be able to do business with my local friends and neighbors, but sometimes it simply is not practical. Our retail system is BROKEN. There is no reason for the big box store to be able to sell an item for less than it costs the local hardware store guy to stock it.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. 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.
