    Dealer Parts Dept. Rant

    See, that works both ways. Do you really want the manufacturer to dictate that parts can only be sold at MSRP? Including all the on line mail order OEM parts that can currently be found at a discount?

    Are tariffs still an OK topic?

    What about small businesses that closed years ago because their intellectual property was stolen, proprietary goods were counterfeited and found out they couldn't compete fairly with companies paying $500 a month for labor?

    Do parts stores accept rebuildable cores anymore?

    Probably means they don't want to rebuild them anymore because there is so little demand for the rebuilt part making it more trouble than it is worth. Look for it to be dropped from the catalog sometime soon.

    Various 2025 Lawnmowers at Home Depot
