More work, more trips to the dealer

Tomorrow I gotta make my 4th trip to the dealer in about a week, all for different projects.

I went the first time to get a carb kit for my 1600, and some new clutch disks for the PTO. Second trip was to get the center plate between the discs and a few other bearings and parts for the PTO, as well as dropping off a hyd. cylinder to be rebuilt. 3rd trip was to get the cylinder and an air cleaner hose for my brothers 550.

Now I gotta go get some more bearings and parts for the PTO, as I had to go deper yet to replace a broken gear in the PTO housing. Got the gear from the local bone yard. Also gotta exchange the 550's water pump now, as well as a new choke cable for it.

I went another time a couple weeks ago for another project. I was doing really good all summer and hadn't gone more than 2 times the rest of the season... Oh well...

Has been like that with me and the tire/battery dealer lately. Numerous tire repairs & replacements - got 4 wagons from father-in-law"s estate. Most needed tire repairs. Diesel truck needed two batteries, and latest was a pair of flats on Son"s SUV, got both at the same time!
 
Yeah, they have a good parts support and buy aftermarket if it's cheaper than AGCO. Only trouble is they're on of the further dealers we go to- 25-30 miles or so. Got one closer that deals in Oliver parts, but the support just isn't there. Rather drive the extra 5-10 miles and get the better support.

Other brands are also pretty close, and we go to them for the other colors we've got.

Been like that all summer for me. First replaced gears and bearings in JD A governor, then found worn oil pump drive and clutch fork. Meanwhile Allis B got rust in the gas tank and had to have it coated. In the meantime I put points, condenser and carb kit in the neihbors Farmall BN. Then the unloading auger on the old Allis combine wore out during wheat harvest and I had to fabricate a new one. Now I have my 37 JD B apart puttiing in new rear axle seals and repairing rusted rear rims. Never seems to end!!
