Needed a couple 1/2-13 X 1-1/4 Gr 5 Carriage bolts and flange nuts for my rear blade so I looked for them last weekend when I was in Tractor Supply...no dice. I was kinda surprised since they are for mounting the cutting edge on my rear blade it seemed like it would be something they would have.
Stopped down the street at Fastenal this afternoon and sure enough they had them and I was ready to pay the price to get them when the owner says "on the house, don't worry about it" I said: "you sure?" and he says yeah. So I thanked him, told him i would let my friends know how helpful he was, and told him I wouldn't forget him next time I need something I'll be looking here first. He smiled. Seems we both made out but he's gonna have to wait for his payback till the next time I need some bolts.
Still, that's more than Tractor Supply has ever done for me in all the years I have dealt with them, going on back to when it was known as Central Tractor.
So part of my payback to him is letting you all know how helpful he was and maybe you'll find the same at your local Fastenal.
