It’s a hard line and kinda bendy to fit around the frame with the fittings welded on the ends or something. It’s easy to sit at my desk and click buy in 10min rather than chasing all over creation trying to find a part or get one made. I’ve been in no rush so not like it was critical to get the crops in or something.
There is a semi “local” stealer that might or might not have the part but it’s a good 30min drive and a gallon (or more) of gas each way plus their prices are usurious like the local Benz stealer. So all in all I just order stuff. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Dec 29, 2022, at 5:27 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Those established tractor makers seem to have good parts service in my > experience.
