I'll pound on the same theme as many others here. Counter guys (and gals) who know what parts are. Won't bother me if there's grease around their fingernails either. But its not comforting to order a water pump for a gas JD 4020 specific by year and when it comes in find its for a previous version that won't fit the auxiliary pipes.

We individual customers won't have nearly so much effect but we will gain or loose much the same way, just not three times each day. Gerald J.
