I happen to run a local Co-Op amid a few private retailers and would like to defend myself a little. I understand how tough it is and that every penny or dollar has to be looked at. But on behalf of the coop, how many years did they take your money and prepay these products to get you a better deal and it was the right thing to do? Seems to me, that the one year out of 10 - 20, it goes south on us and we"re the bad guys. One of the private retailers in my area took prepay money from the farmers for anhydrous and didn"t forward it to the mfgs. Instead, he took that money and made a huge down payment on a farm right under their very noses. Now, he IS supplying the anhydrous to them as he is purchasing it on the (very lower) cash market. So he"s the genius? The Co-op is the bad guy for following solid business practices? One year out of many? I"m NOT trying to bash the farmer, you are our livlihood. We (the co-ops) are owned by YOU. In my case, would you rather I made a one time upside down deal with your money, or do like the other guy and buy a farm to compete with you. Maybe even use your money to do like the big executives have been doing like the huge bonus thing or file bankruptcy and take the procedes to some tropical island. One more thing to consider, I bet the Co-op will have those prepaid products on hand or will be the first in line for deliveries when those cash guys can"t get it to their warehouses.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
