Seals that use to cost $ 3-4 are now $50 or more!</p>

<p dir="ltr">My Ferguson TO-20 has been acting up and I cleaned
the carb just in case but it was clean inside. Actually the
first thing I did was clean the sediment bowl. Well, I tried but
the pot metal housing virtually came apart in my hands so I
bought a new one and put it on. I had doubts about the coil
maybe breaking down after heating up but thought that I would
start with the fuel system and just check everything as I go.
The thing needs rewiring all over just from age and PO cobbling
but I've been putting it off. I am short a couple of coils
anyway so I went to pick one up. This tractor has an old (and
and unimpressive) 12 volt conversion so I was looking for a 12
volt coil with internal resistor. OK, Rural King had an empty
hook that probably held them at one time but no go. Today we
stopped at the local O'reillys to pick one up. They are nice
folks and always helpful. I told the guy what I wanted and he
wrote it down and went to get help... Now I am so old that I
tend to forget that most folks behind the counter are used to
looking up parts for stuff that is less than 10 years old and my
old crap is pretty alien to them.<br>
When I told him what I wanted I quipped that I wanted one of the
$3 coils... :-) (I remember buying $3 coils) I just
happened to overhear him telling the "crowd" of 3 other people
who were helping him look that he could not find a $3 coil...
:-) I had to explain that I was joking about the price...
(Rural King gets about $23 out of coils).<br>
When the dust settled I had a 12 volt coil that said "Use with
external resistor" for about $19 and counted myself lucky...
:-) I have several new external resistors hanging on a hook in
the shop and I will use one of those.<br>
I need to be careful joking with people more than 2 generations
away from my age group. <br>
