Why not just call up Bill Gunn? You'll get the right part with a minimum of
hassle.
You'll also be supporting him. Bill cares enough about these tractors to
stock the parts, find sources of new parts, even have parts made when
necessary. He gives free advice over the phone and invents upgrades.
Folks, these are THIRTY YEAR OLD tractors. It's remarkable that ANYONE still
has parts. If Bill Gunn gives up on them, parts get scarcer and scarcer; ETs
go from being practical working machines to collectors' items. At that point
anybody who needs a reliable tractor will have to buy a new gas tractor and
relegate the ET to a hobby.
Bill stocks lift straps, bearings, belts, capacitors, relays and all the other
little things. Sure, you can get many of these locally, maybe even for less
money. But I say give Bill a little financial reward for his investment of
effort, time, and money. If we buy these little things from him now, that
increases the chances that he'll be there to supply the big, hard to find
parts 5 years from now when we need them.

The question can arise whether with the development of such tech-
nological means of communication as radio, film, and the daily
press, freedom of thought is possible at all. Does this not mean
constant infection with whatever ideas are in circulation?
