where to get 2cyl carb parts

The other -- Are you enrolled with the "jdparts" website? If not, I urge you to do so today. Without any obligation whatsoever, this secure website gives you a virtual eye into your local dealer's stock room and his price lists. It makes a great shopping tool. You learn quickly if Deere still carries the part (valid or invalid) and how much you will pay for it.

Go to Google & enter the seven letters of jdparts, and the first entry to come up should be something to the effect of "jdparts homepage". That is the one you want. Enter your address data, and the setup sequence will select the JD Dealer nearest to you. Then -- any time you need something from your dealer, scout it out on the site first and price it. Then when you actually buy, if the price is violently different -- you have basis to question it. Remember -- the fellows working that counter may never have touched a tractor like yours much less be at all familiar with its parts, and errors can be made. (PatB)
