[AT] Was: Super A waterpump; Now: Cores

[Mike Sloane]

I agree with Larry. When I worked for a New Holland tractor/equipment 
dealer, we saved up ALL of our cores (generators, starters, injection 
pumps, etc., except engines) and shipped them back for credit when we 
got a pallet load. Engine cores were returned as soon as the old one was 
removed and stripped of the re-used components. We always bought 
complete engines, as it was cheaper for the customer in the long run 
than buying long/short blocks and spending labor hours on moving the old 
stuff over. This was especially true of skid steer engines. Some owners 
purchased long/short blocks and did their own work, so we always had a 
few of them around for sale. But their cores were sent back to Jasper too.
