I recall from their paper catalogs (last one was printed in 2010) that several items are made to specific orders and to receive those items it takes fabrication process time prior to shipment. I also recall from their catalogs the statement - "You order, We make, You wait, We ship" and to order early as it commonly takes two weeks for those parts. As noted by CNKS they do make a lot of stuff that can't be found elsewhere. Also, in addition to the owner dying in the tractor accident a couple years ago, another key person, Thurman, passed away earlier this spring. The last items I ordered from them were quickly received as they were here in a couple of days by UPS, Hal. [Reply]   [No Email]

I usually get run of the mill stuff from Steiners and specialty stuff from OEM. I have had it come really fast and really slow. The slow stuff was a fuel line for an SMTA. I would guess that was the I order, they make setup. Fast stuff includes steering wheels etc. You have to support them or they WILL go under. I have a feeling they are somewhat close the way it is now. It costs a lot of money to tool up to make 3 parts per year for some 60 year old tractor. [Reply]  [No Email]

Could be that they keep Steiners and other companies supplied before us individuals. That is not a complaint. OEM's prices are sometimes less than Steiners. [Reply]  [No Email]
