- Massey Ferguson 1643 & Allis-Chalmers D14
I am simply amazed that certain dealers remain in business. I stopped tonight at [dealer name removed] on my way home to get an oil filter for my Massey Ferguson 1643. The parts department didn't immediately know the number for the filter, so they called someone and after about 10 minutes they determined that they had the filter in stock. The parts department woman brings it out and tells me it will be $25 and change! For a filter that should cost no more than $7. I told her no thanks that I'd get an off brand. She then SNAPS at me, Go right ahead an ruin your engine! I just smiled, told her to have a nice day and walked out. I have news for her...the factory installed filter is made by Denso. Not like AGCO frreaking makes oil filters. They simply buy them from some manufacturer who puts the AGCO logo on it. Just really frustrates me when certain dealers try to take advantage of people by charging way too much.
