Re: (ET) Technical Service

What exactly is not available from other sources?  It seems to me that a 
lot 
of comsumable parts are off the shelf stuff.  I have had no problem coming 
up 
with bearings, mower blades, belts, and stuff like that.  You can always 
somehow work around switches, relays, etc and probably even improve things 
with 21st century technology.   Stuff like mower decks are obviously a 
problem, as are the mower motors.  But there may be surplus or off the 
shelf 
solutions or work-arounds for this, too.  Maybe we should start putting 
together a database of parts.  If a part is off the shelf, it would 
indicate 
part numbers, sources, etc.  If a part is not off the shelf, it would 
indicate that fact as well as a possible workaround, if one exists.  Any 
thoughts?
