THANKS
I added the word "quick" to my search and it popped up on the first page. Printing out that page now.

The next time that same 20 something girl is running the parts counter at my JD dealer, I'm just going to say hello to the sales staff and leave.

Army and Navy. Their documentation requirements always quadruple the cost associated with producing anything for them
I am sure that the guys overseas appreciate that the *.* which they've been issued has met stringent specs, as bullets are whizzing over their heads. 😉

For sure. I didn’t mean to sound like I was criticizing the cost, it was more an explanation or justification of why our government spends more on products than some might think justified.

Which is just the way that I took it. 👍

Speaking of expensive parts... not very good pictures but this hand sized piece of sheet metal bracket on my snowsled is $119. Which will break from vibration just as this one did. I need to buy some thin wall sockets so that I can take it apart and fabricate something out of a piece of heavier scrap metal which I have kicking around. An hour shaping it with an angle grinder and I should have something a bit stronger, and considerably cheaper.

Edit: I was wrong. It would be $135. Plus shipping.

Tractor parts have become a bit like boat parts. Its just greed and convenience finding a middle ground. :)
