Obviously I'm a Texas boy, tried and true. Thought I was a blue boy cause I liked blue utility tractors.....old iron of course, not new stuff. Had some blue sitting around the place. Had some green too. Green happened to be the bigger stuff as there is no big blue in N. Tx. Next thing you know I'm retiring and buying things to play with and implements are green. So I buy a lotta green and expand my green tractor lot. So I needed a disc harrow. Found this 11' at the local sale barn for a reasonable price (Just right for me but probably too small for the red guy.....what's his name.....Allan NE.....LOL). Anyhew, I realized it needed some parts; axle bearings, seals and snap rings. Now this is a 1961 JD AW model disc harrow (not a tractor) and I call the local Ag Power, Inc. dealer in N. Dallas....this is the guy who sells $200-$300k rigs to the gaucho's in South America and ships the stuff down there...I mean I'm talking about a $30 bearing and $2 seal, not on a tractor but a 44 year old disc harrow. Thanks to "Steve Ia" this board, I figured out what I wanted..... So I called the parts guy and he has "IN STOCK" on 2 sets of the 4 sets of parts I need and the other 2 sets showed up the next day...yesterday. I finished it today. Runs like a nu-un. Now the blue house would have told me, and has, on tractor parts, not implement parts on a 44 year old implement, that NH no longer supports that part number. So the saga goes on. I have this JD 4010 which is a '61 model. The seat was a wobblin. Go to my green dealer and ordered seat brackets and bushings and will be here Monday.....on a 44 year old tractor; I said seat bushings and brackets, not piston rings and engine bearings!!!! This is why GREEN is King. Everything else just falls in line....(duckin the flak) but truth is truth. Have a nice day, Grin Mark
