| bought, sold, or traded any parts, tractors, or machinery, or done any business of some sort with another forum member that probably would not have taken place if weren't for the forum? In my own situation, I have bought a sickle mower gearbox, pair of rear tractor tires, a D19 generator, a planter, a hydraulic line for a 190 XT, and I am sure that there are a few more that I can't think of right off hand. And that's just the tangible things; the advice I've gotten from forum members is not measureable. And I've never gotten ripped off by anyone on here yet either. And I've never met in person more than a couple people on here. I'm not trying to be nosy, but just exemplify what everyone on here already knows; "This is a great website!" Thanks, Darrel |

You said it Darrel! Such a great group of people trying to help each other out no matter what. I've only traded advice so far, but looking forward to doing other business with members in the future. I've only been a member for less then a month, I find myself checking the site whenever I get a few minutes to see what everyone is working on and needing help with! This is a great website! Brent |

I have a few times. All were great experiances. A great thing about the members on here is that you can trust almost all of them. The reason I say almost is because as everyone knows there has to be a black sheep in every group. I have not found one yet so do not think that I am talking about someone in particular.

| After i posted, and then posted again, I remembered 3 more items that I bought from people on here. Just last summer I bought an engine for my 8070, a pair of 38" cast wheel centers for my 190 XT, and a service manual for my HD5G. Guess my memory must be getting bad. Or maybe it is just as good as it used to be, just a lot shorter! And you've probably noticed a pattern of a lot of buying a no selling. My place is starting to show that pattern as well. Any way, thank you all for great dealings, Darrel. P.S., I'll probably come up with a few more things yet. |

Bought some and sold a little on here. Haven't gotten burned yet. Dealt with the guy that burned Eldon but I only put down a deposit and paid for it when I picked it up. Tried to get in touch with him after he burned Eldon but no luck, guess he knew the gig was up. Gotten lots of good advice about almost anything.

This site has been a way for AC Fans from all over the world to share information and is a positive learning experience. If you need something AC there is no better place in the world to find it but right here.
I have found and bought or traded for a number of needed parts from forum members and have sold a item or 2 also.
A most interesting request came from a forum reader in The Netherlands. He remembered a thread about the original upolstery material on a B/C seat cushion and contacted me asking if I had a canvas seat cover for his B for sale. I just happened to have one left and after a bit of a unfortunate mix up causing a delay in recieving payment he got his seat cover. It fit over his black vinyl cushion perfectly and he was Tickled Orange with the 50s look it added to his B. He uses his B to win Blue Ribbons in almost every plowing contest he enters. Without this forum, Hermin would still be plowing sitting on a slippery black vinyl seat cover.
I got the right canvas to make seat covers from Brett Phillips. AC forum member from Virginia.
