J.D., If it's any consolation to you, Ford's prices are equally outrageous. I recently priced a gas cap for my 1973 Ford 2000 tractor. The Ford price was something like $30.00! Yah, sure, this has something to do with Federal Government regulations for venting gas fumes into the atmosphere, but come on, $30.00? I ended up buying an aftermarket gas cap and still paid nearly $10.00 for it. I think that the demand for agricultural equipment is just so low, the manufacturers and dealers have to charge huge prices to justify their engineering and marketing costs. Good luck, Tom
