[AT] A part for my JD 2010

[Almost-Running Deere]

The dealer makes all the difference or sometimes how engaged the guy behind 
the counter is in his job.  I know that Deere parts are high but we can 
still get a significant portion of what we need for tractors 40-50-60 years 
old and that is remarkable.  Sometines deere isn't all that expensive.  I 
nneded a starter for my 40 and the rebuilt Deere starter was 139.00 MINUS a 
twenty dollar core charge-on rhw net I saw them as high $200 PLUS the core 
charge plus $20 shipping.  Dealer had it in 3 days for no addiional shipping 
charge (overnight was extra). Detlan Equipment in Silverdale PA and they are 
technically not an ag dealer I don't think.  No financial interest just a 
customer.
