NIGEL FORD Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 goddam parts computer at work crashed again today ,just when a customer was desperate for some parts ,typical! Oh for the good old days when the storeman didn't even have to look in the parts book to know where to find what you wanted! Mind you it must be infuriating when a customer comes in for a "wossname off my thinggummyjig"....are there still farmers around like that ?, I used to get pi$$ed off if I got behind one when I was in a hurry & even had the part no. of what I wanted.

The storeman in our local New Holland dealers would drive you nuts looking into the computer and getting this part number and that part number and then going into the store and spending 15 mins looking for the damn thing and then maybe coming back with the wrong thing. If you rang up the parts manager who's been there for years he could tell you offf the top of his head the price of something and whether he had it or not.

I'll concor with that - that big heavy fella is the greatest waste of space down there but the main storeman or the boss would have 10 customers served by the time he would have one served Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Kev, 'wasn't having a go at you personally , just at the modern system, that's supposed to be "more efficient".....until it breaks down, like everything man-made must at some point.40 yrs ago there were so few parts on things one could remember everything in ones head I guess.

Kev mate, I wouldn't have your job for all the tea in China. I wouldn't want to deal with the likes of me I try to have all the info I can (including part nos.) when going for parts but nothing bugs me more than being behind one of those "I know what the part is but you have to figure it out" farmers. You really need to punch those w**kers Always remember this mate: No matter how impatient we are, you parts lads have the utmost respect from the majority of us belt-breakers and bolt-strippers.
