rrlund: It seems like it still boils down to location nation wide and local dealerships. I know many of you are treated like step children by JD with the mega dealerships. So far the dealership chain that is around here is not changing much at the local level with parts and service. It is the knowledge of the parts people too. The fellows that are behind the local JD store are older experienced fellows. When they are gone we may very well have your issues.
As for AGCO here it must be location nationally effecting the local parts delivery. I can't get anything next day from AGCO. It is 2-3 days. Also I am not running enough older AGCO stuff to really build a network of parts suppliers other than OEM. It seems like you have done well in the after market suppliers.
I know those suppliers for the JD stuff and that is just because of the need for it. If I was running a lot of older Oliver or MF I would need to know your suppliers.
As for the crack in the piston. I explained that I think it was the mounted plow accident that did it. It also could have been a bad casting from the factory. It is really a hair line crack. I put new seals in several years ago and I did not see it then. I actually rigged up my prota power and bench tested the lift housing to find it this time.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
