I sure miss my old parts girl at O'Reilly's. She came from Car Quest from back in the 90's. Sharp as a tack with parts & part numbers. I told her (jokingly) back then I wanted to marry her. And it's been a running joke for about 30yrs now.

After I confirmed that the pulley I needed was a V pulley, it clicked as to why there was no B dimension. IMO, the parts person should've known this.

On my own mower, I have a file that I keep that sort of info in. Including an updated list on the parts I've replaced. I used to do that with all my customers. It was tedious. But well worth it when they came back for repairs or warrantee's.

Rough hot day. Fed up with the way things were going. Like lay a wrench down, and it suddenly appears on the other side of the shop, type day. So since stens apparently haven't updated their JD part numbers or something, I called to ask about this idler I pulled off a LA145. Thinking since I...
