</font><font color="blue" class="small">( chatcher the only way I recieved my money back was with a dispute filed with pay pal)</font>
Reversing the payment through Paypal would be backing out of my end of the deal. I agreed to pay, and I.E. agreed to ship. I have honored my part of the deal. Taking back my money without I.E.'s mutual agreement, as far as I'm concerned, would leave me owing I.E. for the order. Just because I unfortunately chose a vendor with a different concept of acceptable service than I have doesn't necessarily mean I have the right to undo the deal.
Personally, I only dispute charges on my credit cards when I didn't authorize them. Maybe that comes from being on the other side of credit card transactions in the past.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Or does anyone know if the JD top-and-tilt cylinders will fit a NH tractor?)</font>
They probably will but the key ingredient is the double pilot check valves. Neither the Kubota, NH or JD hydraulic top links or tilt links come with them. As I have stated before, there is no known source here in the USA for the correct check valves.
I would just place my order with CCM and wait. You will not be disappointed with what you will receive. I can almost guarantee if you buy something without the check valves you will regret your decision in a very short time. Others have and so will you.

CCM says no new stock until at least Fall, and I don't have the luxury of waiting that long to do the work. So I am not choosing between hydraulic cylinders with and without pilot check valves - I am choosing between a box blade with and without hydraulic cylinders!
I did not know NH sold top-and-tilt cylinders. That's the only reason I asked about JD. I will have to check on those.

Integration Engineer (IE) and Midwest Equipment (ME) are out of business? He has tried to stay in manufacturing business that is hard to challenge if it is in USA. I had seen some items of ME here. Just thinking if there is new plans.

nomad,
From what I understand, Integration Engineering has no connection with Midwest Equipment. Haven't had for some time.

From what I hear, in another 6 weeks or so CCM will have valves back in stock. Summer is almost over. You should cut your losses now and just wait for dependable service.

jim may be a nice guy when he takes your order and collects your money first rate yes ,and quick to respond yes , then he forgets about you ,problems or not he still took my order and my money right away and I never recieved my product .still waiting for refund from pay pall
Well just in case anyone is still considering doing business with Jim McCuan, in my case I paid him $462.56 on May 25, 2005, and have thus far received absolutely nothing in return. Despite my numerous attempts to communicate with him via various email addresses, phone numbers, and most recently through eBay, from the moment I made the payment he has not responded. Those are facts, not opinions.
His old friends here may continue to defend him or make excuses for his behavior, but considering he has been actively selling on eBay during the months since my order was placed, I find it very difficult to believe he did not deliberately defraud me.
His eBay ads for top links say "I bought several of these and am selling off the ones I don't need." Apparently he doesn't feel the need to send any of them to me.

Why don't you go on to eBay and click on the "buy it now" button. When he asks for payment, refresh his memory that you already have. If he doesn't come through, at least you can give him negative feedback there to try to prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.

Action Archer is starting to get negative feedback now, and it just happens to be for the toplink auctions. I got mine after two+ weeks and consider myself very lucky.
Looks like the other thread on this got deleted?

I considered that, and would do it if I thought it would help. But I don't think he'd be any more likely to talk to me then than he is now. I'm pretty sure he is getting my phone and email messages, he just isn't answering them. I don't see how his memory could not be refreshed already. I'd be risking not only a negative feedback for myself but also a non-paying bidder complaint. (I did not buy via eBay.)

Yes it was. I hope it was because of the contact information posted for McCuan's father and not because of the factual complaints about the problems many of us are having. I don't know why they had to delete the entire thread. The community needs to be aware of McCuan's business practices. I've tried very hard to keep it factual and avoid any personal attack. If my order ever does arrive, I will be sure to post that as well.

I didn't see the other thread. If it was deleted to suppress criticism of a person who is apparently defrauding people, that ought to raise a red flag for every member of this forum. I would think that not only should it not be suppressed, a statement that this person's business dealings are less than reputable and people have been burned should be pinned at the top of every forum as a warning to other unsuspecting members.
