That just seems to be the way it is anymore. If you want to pay a fair price for anything, you have to go online. Your pump is less than $100 on RockAuto, and the fuel shut off solenoid is less than $200. The relay switch is insane. That part appears to be $14-22 on rockauto. As far as everyone saying that the parts prices are OK, and it's an uncommon part, etc, I disagree with that. I understand the limited production thing, but the vast mojority of the time, that's not the case. It's not like they're giving away parts on new vehicles. These parts are mass produced by the millions for pennies on the dollar of what a dealer charges. The dealers charge what they can get away with on the newer stuff. I can understand that some parts can cost $50, but could be built for $10 with ebay components, which means the manf. of the part has more like $5 in it There's a cost to that convenience, labor, etc. I feel that charging $250 for a part that cost the manf. $5 + labor is gouging, plain and simple. These guys can defend it all they like, that doesn't make it right

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
