I received a call yesterday from a gentleman I know that works at a long time local tractor parts yard. He asked if I could think of any parts that I may need because they were going to close Friday (tomorrow). I said I wasn't sure at the moment and then it hit me... wait... closing? Like... permanently?? "Yes" he replied. He proceeded to mention that internet sales is one of the bigger reasons for the decision (although I'm sure not the only one). He mentioned people call asking about part numbers and such, then turn around and order online. This place is a 10 acre "Mom and Pop" paradise and has been in business for over 40 years.. its sad to see them go. I understand that most parts can be aquired online cheaper, but it doesn't beat the face to face help and advice from someone truly knowledgeable. I could walk thru the door with some thingamabopper that fell off one of my tractors, and Mark would look and say " oh.. thats a splice pin for your muffler bearing! Yep I have one and you need it. This is how you put it in."
Mark is absolutely full of tractor knowledge, Andy was always great at helping out behind the counter if something was needed, and Sue who always does the ordering and final pricing is an absolute sweetheart to work with.
Meyer Implements will be missed.
I'm sure most everyone on here has a favorite parts place.. please treat the local "mom and pop" shops well.
