I much prefer sitting at my keyboard, opening my emailed eBay alerts, and sending those preferred parts to "My eBay" watched list. Marty consistently has the parts that I want.
Certainly not all the parts or not in a timely availability. I needed the solid vertical lift link for a 300-400 Fast Hitch this summer to complete my down-pressure snowplow. It took about 10 calls to salvage yards and I finally found an outfit that actually knew what I was talking about and had the part. It cost me $40 plus shipping. If I hadn't been in a hurry, that would be a $9.99 part from Marty and is almost certain to be serviceable and shipped without damage. But I do have some reservations that his crew might not know how to remove it from the tractor.
In another instance, I have been waiting three years for an aluminum hydraulic lever for a 400 Standard Tread. I emailed dealers and salvage yards. Nothing. I printed out a list of salvage yards in small-grain states. Finally found a lever in Canada. They would only sell me the three valves, levers, and linkages as a package. They wanted $500. If I get lucky, Marty may get a 400-450-460-560-660 Wheatland or Orchard and will list the lever separately. Shouldn't have to pay more than $20. This is one of the reasons why I don't like being blocked.
I am not worried about being sued by Marty. He is not coming to Massachusetts to haul me to court. But if he did, I could print out 50 pages of negative posts from YT, RPM, and eBay that show a consistent pattern of deceit and dishonesty. Maybe I would subpoena his eBay account rep, LOL. No, his name is not Larry O'Leary.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor: Conclusion - by Anthony West. In the last piece I mentioned that Nuffield had reached the stage where they had chosen to drop the "Universal" from production. The two new models were given three figure numbers, instead of "three" and "four". Model numbers were introduced to help farmers and dealers instantly recognize the engine size and horsepower of the tractor, the 4/60 had a four cylinder diesel engine which developed 60 bhp at 2,000 rpm. The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
