Why is it I can still obtain parts for a 1935, '36, '38 Farmall and I cannot obtain parts (read pump head) for a Sears Power washer that I purchased in 1999? It just totally frosts me that the Sears people tell me "the manufacturer no longer supplies that part". I was told the local service center "may" have the part in stock, but if it's going to cost more than 50% of the original cost of the power washer, I might as well buy a new one. But then, what do I do with the old one? The engine is still fine, but the washer pump is shot. I thought there was a law that a manufacturer was supposed to supply parts for a total of 10 years. What am I missing here? I can buy any kind of parts from this site or Gordon Rice in PA for my Farmall's but Sears says "the manufacturer no longer supplies that part". Hey, I can even go to the local Dodge dealer and buy parts for my '99 Dodge diesel pickup. So what's srong with this picture? And I'm finding out in a hurry, Sears quality in some of the items they sell is going to h*** in a hand basket. It seems like anymore nobody services what they sell, and that goes for Home Depot, Lowes or whomever. What's a feller to do? I wanted to order some Orings (metric) for the hose and they were going to cost $.80 each but Sears wanted $10.00 shipping on top of that. I was able to go to a local parts/repair center (HotZ) and purchase the Orings for $.80 ea., plus tax, no shipping. Course that didn't fix the problem. Just ventilating here and was wondering if any others have had a similiar experience.
