I have been working on a Allis Chalmers ED-40 with a friend of mine. When we got to the water pump which was leaking, like everything else on this rare tractor, it was difficult to find parts. Located a seal, and the bearings at two different places. The seal is about $8 from Sandy Lake. Brenda didn't have the bearings but told me of two Massey Fergerson dealers who each had one. This engine was also used in the Fergerson TO-35. The first dealer about 1/2 hr away had it for $23, I went right over and picked it up. The Second dealer in Virginia had it but it was $33. I said "Well that's an expensive bearing but OK". Well is showed up and the shipping to here in R.I. was $16. Keep in mind that a similar size bearing from McMaster is about $8-10. These bearings are a little thicker, and the 16mm bore is not standard I guess, McMaster lists 15mm, 17mm with a 40mm od. OK, this isn't a standard bearing but one dealer had lit for $23, the next was $10more, then to top that off they want $16 to ship a package UPS ground that probably doesn't weigh a pound. I know that I could have asked how much shipping was going to be, but for a small piece like this I usually see a shipping charge of $7 or 8. And I didn't have to buy the bearing, I could have bushed down a 17mm bearing or tried a bearubg supply. Just wondering what you folks think of what I consider excessive charges, especially shipping.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
