Well the fuel lift pump went out on my 885. Being the type person that likes to put factory parts back on, I went to my local Case dealer. The fuel pump looked identical,and everything hooked up just like it should have. 20 minutes later it was bled and purring. A piece of cake? NO. A few days later it was time to check the oil. Well the new sediment bowl hangs about 3/4 in. lower than the old one, I cant check the oil without pulling the sediment bowl. AND I cant find the old pump, I must have thrown it away when it looked like the new one was the correct one. Another couple days had gone by and I did find the box with the old pump in it. The old bowl fits the new pump and all is right with the world again. I usually keep old parts just in case and couldnt believe I had thrown this away. This is why my wife wont go in my room in the barn, she see all the stuff from tractors long gone. You just never know when you'll need that grille guard from that old 2N Ford.

The only trouble with keeping "old" old parts is they usually wind up somewhere under the "new" old parts.

I look at it this way: I MIGHT need whatever it is later and if I DON'T then I'm building one heck of a yard sale for my descendants!

For some reason people give me things maybe because I don't throw anything away.Some time they come back later looking for something should I charge them rent or storage ? It's not a junk pile It,s my antique collection!!!

Like the saying goes "One mans "JUNK" another mans "treasure" lol My mom yells at my Dad and i for keeping stuff that we don't need. He kept old o rings out of a cylender of a Case Dozer. He kept piston rings out of something else i convinced him to throw them away. We have alot of "JUNK"

"Throw away" bite your tongue! Old iron never dies, it just rusts away. I try never to throw anything out! Besides, every time one does, in this neck of the woods, one's disposable costs go up. I threw out a rug once, and it got rained on before pick up. Trash goes by weight, and it ended up costing me 27 bucks to toss out the rug. I won't repeat that mistake! Besides, I want to look down on all the consternation after I cross over the bar and my descendants are going through the bar scratching their heads and saying, "now what do you suppose he kept this for, and what the heck is it???"
