Cant believe it, but tomorrow(the 20th) will be my 10th anniversary of being a parts man at the local A-C, New Holland dealership. It has gone by in a blink of an eye! I have had the opportunity to talk to many of you through this job as well as finding some interesting parts sitting on the shelves around the country.
I am still working the counter and also moving into selling as well. Thanks for all of the business and heres hoping for ten more years! Jim |

What is the dumbest question anyone ever asked you? I was a parts man at a Honda motorcycle dealership in the 70's. A kid asked for a powerband like in his buddy's bike. Another said he needed about 150 pounds of compression. TRUE!

sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"

Congratulations Jim! Here's to ten more. How's a nice honest guy like you going to be in equipment sales? I guess most of the tractor salesmen I've met were nice.

Jim, Been there and done that. Worked for Hunley Sales & Service for 13 years. Sometimes it is a trying job. Back then it was card files. Now with computers it must be easyer. Mircofich was not as good as the old parts books,for as I`m concernd.The programs that they have nowdays are awsome. Keep up the good work and remember,it is not your fault for the prices.
