I have had enough, when it comes to dealing with parts people.
The seal behind my flywheel on my prochem legend has been leaking some oil..
call prochem to see if the have them in stock....NO it'll take 10 to 14 days because they have to order them through Kohler....
 ok Call Kohler ...sorry you have to deal with one of our distributors....
ok call the distributor......a guy close to home has one seal in stock...I pop out the old seal to make sure that it's the same seal....when I get there it's not the same seal. The new seal is about 1/2 inch thinner...but the diameter is the same...
I say to the guy "THAT AINT IT"
...he argues that "YES IT IS"...he's been dealing with these engines since JOHNNY WAS A BAKERok take the darn thing back home go through all the trouble to install the damn thing....start the engine.....OIL EVERYWHERE IT'S WORSE!
I got jobs...only one truck..I'M PISSED
Had to work...so kept topping it up with oil....
Got the right seal today, by calling every Kohler agent in the GTA..
 call the idiots at 9 AM....the guy said he would check stock and call me right back..
YEAH RIGHT12:30 pm I call them...only to be put on hold while the guy looks for the part...which he said he would do from 9
then he cuts me off...
He calls back.... he has one the only one in all of the GTA!
 so today I couldn't do any jobs...had to pull down the prochem again...and re-install the right seal
on the bright side it's working
 anyone else go through this BULL????
Is it just here in Canada???
or is it everywhere???

I went through that same experience several times. I once had a parts person tell me that I should have an extra part for everything, My response to that was "then what do I need you for I'll just open up my own parts store"

Move out here to the arm pit of the world and try to find parts for anything?? The cost of return shipping of wrong parts is more than the price of the part?

The part number are also all screwed up...prochem re numbers the parts...so I got the kohler list now...and still they can't get me the right part.
there is no winning....I could bring it somewhere...but it would cost me 500 dollars to change a .50cent part and I would still have to wait
