I needed a seal kit for the left hand reel lift cylinder on the 775 Massey swather I bought. Massey is a brand I have not worked with much so I was not familiar with dealers that knew something about old Massey machinery. I had heard of an old line Massey dealer , Van's implement by Hull Iowa so I gave them a call. The parts man was a top of the line guy, he almost knew what I was going to say before I said it. I had the serial number of the head handy and told him it was the master cylinder on the left side and that was all he needed. He said if I would give him my credit card number (yes, I know what some of you guys will say about that) I could have the part at my door the next morning (today). This morning at 8:00 I went to the shop and there was the package stuck in the shop door ready for me to use. I honestly don't know when it came. Yes, the shipping and 'drop' fee was 2/3 of the cost of the part but for service that fast I won't complain about it. Throwing the seals in the cylinder was super easy and in no time I was carefully backing it out the door.
