Cant get this topic off my mind. I want to make it clear that while I'm glad they support the older stuff, I'm by no means advocating "bowing down" to them. Given the growing distance between IH dealers, I can only ask myself how much gas, time or postage was invested in your snap ring search. I fully agree that 30.00 is terribly high for a snap ring. I also agree with the comment below that there is likely a mistake. The possibility also exists that based upon experience, they were encouraging you to buy parts elsewhere and you will both be happier for it. I'm reminded of a time I was standing at the dealer having a cup of coffee after I had gotten my parts and a fellow came in to get a part. It was quite a fiasco before it was over, with many questions asked and answered not even pertaining to the particular part. I wish I could remember what the part was, but I do remember hoping I never had to buy one because of the outrageous price. When the fellow left, a guy standing next to me commented about hoping to never having buy that particular part. Owner was walking by at that point and commented..."you guys dont pay the complicated buyer surcharge". I've got a particular pars guy that will steer me to the cheaper place when he knows IH is out of line on that part. I'm not suggesting that you are a "complicated buyer". But as you read these forums, it is easy to see that there could be some very time consuming parts buyers out there. In the age of information that we live in, it is not beyond belief that things like that could be tracked right to a part number and we all end up paying a price for the novices.

He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
