Boy just curiosity in general I was checking a belt size this morning. Boy is Sears proud of the 532178138 belt @ $61.66 when my distributor is listing the retail @ $44.99. I understand that is nearly always a little higher but they are now just taking advantage of their customer base.
I had a customer several years ago that demand me to use Sears parts on his Craftsman mower and even tried suing me for not doing so even though I use the Husqvarna oem parts. Needless to say he lost out as he had to pay my lawyer fees. IJ ust was going to Sears retail when I got a Husqvarna distributor online.
Using the above belt why would I pay $61.66 when can get it from the distributor for $29.25; just doesn't make sense. Even this is a little over $5 increase since last year. Even this is high for a poly belt.
Just venting this morning its been a week of Mondays here and Monday was more Monday than normal too. I just realized today is TAX DAY.
