  5. heh heh,,yeah, thas what im talking bout hatcity. We still got one place in nother town bout 20 miles away, 3 men , all in their seventies run it, its a starter, generator, electical rebuild shop. They work on air conditoners too. These 3 guys know their business inside out, when they work on something,,its fixed! They all 3 wear leather aprons, got parts and stuff scattered everywhere, store smells oily, and they dont put you off, they work on it right when you come in the door, even let you stand by and watch them tear into something. I needed a starter solenoid for 69 galion motorgrader bout a month ago, took it off, stopped in local chain parts store in town cause i was in a hurry. They wanted to order it, take 3 days to get it, and cost $88.00. I told them I would find it, drove twenty miles to starter shop, walked in door, showed them, old guy reached up on shelf over his head, gave it to me and charged me $22.00, the exact solenoid! Now thats service you got to just appreciate! Dont care what anybody says, those were the good ole days,,randy
  6. You all remember when you went in the Parts store before the age of computers and they looked everything up in a parts book? The store I traded in here for years, one man owned and ran in by himself. He had this huge steel shelf or rack on the counter in front of him, and when you told him what you needed, he licked his finger, reached into the rack and usually moved a big load of books to one side or the other, he always seemed to land at the right place in the big stack.,When you paid him, he wrote it up on a receipt machine with a crank handle, turned the crank, and gave you your copy. He mixed paint, put acid in batteries, and usually gave excellent, correct diagnosis of what you needed to buy, based on what you told him. Dam,,,i miss those days,,,,randy
