i worked in a parts store for a decade, until a new 'superstore' put it out of business, by far the best counterman were the ones who had been mechanics before something happened that drove them" in the house" it agravates me these days to go into a parts store for something a little unusual and have to deal with a pimple faced kid behind the counter who doesnt know a chevy from a peterbilt, and has no intention of learning either, he;s just there to put in his 8 and get a check,we had guys in our store that could go back and get the correct part off the shelf just by the customer telling them what they wanted, its a shame now, i actualy stood in line behind a man who only wanted a oil filter for a 65 mustang, the kid fumbled with his computer awhile then told the man he would have to order it, as his computer only showed mustangs back to 1970, i blew a cork and told the kid to go back and get a @#$! 85515 oil filter and sell it to the man! i told the kid that part of being a counterman is knowing the simple stuff part numbers in his head, ford used 1 oil filter from 60, to 79' if its a spin on filter thats the one, unless there working on a medium duty truck and want a 2 quart filter,

Today's Featured Article - 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 ... [Read Article]
