Being a lawn mower/tractor repairman, i lament the fact that some bone-headed college boys decided to close most of the JD Dealers in a 30 mile radius of Downtown Pittsburgh, Pa., and move their stores way out in the country!
When i need parts for a JD machine, i have a 75 mile drive to get the parts. The people there are friendly, and order anything i need, but there's that long drive, if a part has to be ordered.
So, needing an input pulley for a lawn tractor, and finding that the tranny was made by Tuff-torque, And the parts were no longer available, i was told to see a JD Dealer, as they used Tuff-Torque.
The parts man looked in his inventory, but didn't have the pulley. Then he grabbed some tools, went out back, and took a used one off a junk tranny, and sold it to me for peanuts!
Now, thats what i call service! And, worth the long drive! But, sales of JD machines have dropped in this area around the city!

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
