I'll take that bet. Don't know if Tim Horton's doughnuts would work to pay it off.....

I was really surprised when he told me that, too. I was prepared for it being overpriced and not in stock, but not "We don't have any and won't be getting any." He did a search at other dealers, nobody had one on the shelf. I don't think it was the parts guy or store, normally they are pretty good-don't stock everything, but do their job and get it quickly and correctly. He had a part number, but that was a dead end-not available and not updated.

For grins, go to your dealer and see if they have the hyd pump-there are 3, IIRC. This one was on the front of the drop box, I can't remember if it was the upper or lower one-I think upper. Maybe Case has them now...I would be interested in knowing.

It was unsettling-for about a 1/2 a day I thought I had a tractor that I was never going to be able to use without serious engineering modifications. Big Tractor Parts didn't have one right a way either, he had to call back after doing some searching, then it was drop shipped from somewhere else. Worked out in the end.
