farmallparts good or bad?

I forgot about Columbia Bob. That is one of the few dealers I have been to. There are no dealers closer than 100 miles from me.

As a side note, I use the parts manual, it is extremely useful. Like when you have a pile of bolts (shiny red or yeller ones) they are called out. I saw a wiring harness on eBay the other day, claimed to fit a 12v Cub. Off by one number from the Cub TC-37F parts manual, turns out it's for a 140. Sent the guy a message and he said it fit his Cub. I believe that it would work, but fit can be subjective.... it wouldn't 'fit' my Cub. And it was more money than a factory harness ($67).

I do hope TM is back online soon.... they run their business like it should be run, honestly and reliably. To give you an idea, I was at his shop once and Tom gave me a Stanly muffler that he had bought to evaluate. The fit was so poor that he would not sell it to his customers. I ended up getting a new one from them some time later (genuine Case IH) because it wasn't worthwhile to have poor fitting muffler on Cathy (my 50) when the new one was about $20. What does a Stanley muffler cost from Tractor Supply?? If you got this far, don't buy one!
 
i checked the auto parts and they were about 5 bucks more although i need to compare brands to make sure i wouldnt be gettin some cheap import from either souce , i would rather pay a few bucks more for the good stuff

I jst looked at their website and didn't see a catalog to order from. I like to go through an online catalog make all my orders and wait for arrival.

This company appears to be nothing more than a web page marketing company that will buy parts elsewhere and have them shipped to you at a markup.

Where is this place located? I didn't see that on their website, leading me to believe they are a drop-shipper. I would definitely stay away from a drop-shipper ... what happens if you do have problems? We have a few that report they got what they wanted, but what if you are the one that doesn't?

Caelestis Productions.

At the bottom of the page it says "Pacific Supply Group". When I look at http://www.pacsupplyco.com, it shows a bunch xxxparts.com and the "contact" link there says:
4142 SE 42nd Ave., Portland, OR 97206
A bit confusing as to where the buck stops.
 
I was sent some more sites since I posted this. After looking at them all it looks like they all have better deals on certain items than others on certain parts and vice versa. I will end up getting parts off all of them it looks like.
