Parts Patience

[Spike60]

OK, a little humor and a little gratitude.

First, I want to thank you guys for being patient on the parts orders. Mostly because at this time of year the store is crazy busy and there's so much stuff going on. I usually vacate the sites cause I don't even have time to have fun here let alone do the business side of it. It's a lot different in the winter when the grass customers are nowhere to be found. I figure that most guys here have plenty of saws and that no project is all that critical. But if something is kind of urgent, then let me know and I'll speed it up. So, thanks for being cool.

But this year is a little different due to Husky completely re-vamping the entire parts operation at the worst time of the year. Has been a bit frustrating but it's gotten much better lately. I'm usually not one to air out the dirty laundry, but some of these mistakes are too funny not to share. Below is an example of one of the mis-picks that I've gotten. That's supposed to be a fuel tank for a 394/395. But that's a fuel tank for a 1996 vintage lawn tractor. Just a little of the fun we've been having this year.

Good to be busy. Try and enjoy like a little.

My question is, how many times do you have to refill the bar oil before you run out of gas with that tank?

 

[Onan18]

Bob you will have to call me one evening after hours so we can talk about this, have gotten some good ones lately!

Joe

 

[Spike60]

Yeah, we'll do that Joe.

Hey it's getting better. After all, it is a fuel tank.

 

[psuiewalsh]

It superceded the old numbers silly, 94,95,96. What's the problem???

 

[mdavlee]

That is pretty good there. That must be the new backpack tank for longer runtime

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Figure out where the trigger assembly goes yet?

 

[idiotwithasaw]

I see things haven't gotten much better from the last time we talked Bob. But hey maybe husqvarna accidentally fell into an idea, backpack fuel tanks for all day non stop cutting. All you would need is a break away coupling incase you had to skedadle without the saw. Just imagine all the fun you and Walt could have rigging this up and testing it. Lol

Bob
PM incoming. I need me a new saw.
Orange and about 100cc should do.

Sorry to derail

 

[idiotwithasaw]

Bob are you also a dolmar dealer?

 

[Spike60]

No Ben; not a Dolmar dealer.

I suppose we could call that an auxiliary fuel tank that could be used for milling, right?

Truth is that we know a guy who's going to try and use that tank to replace the one on his generator, so at least it won't go to waste.
