> I need a throw out bearing for my 1964 corvair, how much is
it. I am sorry but my computer only goes back to 1976. Well
can't you get out a book from then. If I had one I would but
when the place was sold in 1990 some dumb@ss threw them
away.


Well, now, I realize that is not the parts counter guys fault, but
with that situation, your job might not last all that long. Both
sides of the counter have their head shakers and funnies, but
this is a situation where your business is not even trying to fill
the need, doesn't really look good for then to be around if they
are not able or willing to be able to look up parts.

The Napa store had a fella that you bring in a bearing, he
would caliper it, walk off upstairs, come back with the bearing,
never wrote anything down or looked up a computer or book
for the average bearing.

New guy at the Napa spent 10 minutes looking on the
computer and in books for the same bearing years latter, he
had to order it in not in stock, what he sold me did not fit, I do
not know what he measured or cross checked. I went
somewhere else to get the needed bearing, think the odd
sized one is in the shop somewhere. Seemed to be a stock
bearing, nothing to order in special at the other place.

Went to Napa a month ago, sign on the wall they don't take
checks any more.

Huh.

Not the parts guys fault, but huh.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
