Default Economics of transmission


sometimes to work on stuff inside. I can't tell you how many junk
pieces of farm equiptment I have for parts for my "good" equiptment.
The cost of 1 or 2 parts from a dealership can sometimes pay for the
whole parts machine. I'm thankful that I have the room for them. Plus
it saves downtime if I am baling hay or planting and something breaks.
It never fails that something goes on a weekend after the dealership
closes. Jesse


I think its the paint. Just try buying a part with nice new green paint on
it.
You pay through the nose. That part out back with old paint on it isn't
worth near as much.

Blue paint is even worse, cause you have to wait a week to get the wrong
part. I've got four Ford tractors. I can't remember how many times I've been
waiting on parts for two units and had to rob from one to get the other back
in the field.
