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.

The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
