Joes_Outdoor_Power 56 #32 Posted January 10, 2014 Joe - welcome to RS. Please tell us Wheelhorse is far and away your favorite tractor... Sent you a PM too. Bill The Sears tractors are what got me started. I remember n my dad buying a Suburban 12 brand new and I loved it. I was sad, like my dog dies when our garage burned down with it in there. My favorite tractors now are Sears Suburban, Wheel Horse D-250, and anything hard to find. I have a 1959 David Bradley, a Wheel Horse D-250 and a Minneapolis Moline that are my personal collector tractors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #33 Posted January 10, 2014 Welcome Joe. I have bought stuff from you on at least a dozen occasions, and have been happy with all my purchases. All the parts I have purchases have been exactly how you advertised them, and have been clean and undamaged. No doubt that I will continue to buy from you in the future as well.

GlenPettit 1,716 #35 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) "You can't please everybody all the time" • I'm in the process of making a couple of (another brand) parts (an ornament & an insert), they are not done yet. • These are items, I was told, are not available anywhere and very expensive if even found in poor useable ....condition, and some people really want and need these to finish up their 50-year old tractor restoration. • I actually just got an eMail from one angry (another brand) collector telling me I should not do this because: ..........(1) Lots of dealers still have big inventories of parts they need to sell first, ..........(2) The "the search" of finding parts is the real fun part of collecting, ..........(3) There are still thousands of unfound (other brand) tractors out there, and ..........(4) Selling parts is how most collectors finance their hobby, my making parts would drop the prices. And this guy was really serious (he had 50 'parters' of this brand). I will be making a few these parts because some nearby Wheel Horse collector friends need a few for their (other brand) tractors, but this is just probably just a small favor for these friends. Joe is providing a real service to all of us, and keeping these tractors alive. But some parts just can't be found anymore.

Lane Ranger 10,943 #36 Posted January 11, 2014 David and I visited Joe Hemmi's place in 2009 when we came back from Toronto with a 1054 tractor. I had purchased some other 1054 parts and we arrived before the employees were there early on a Friday morning. The place was very neat and several different buildings. I remember there were four or five red pick up trucks near the house. About 20 minutes after we arrived an employee came and started opening up things. I remember that he went under Joe's house for several of the parts that were set aside for us to pick up! Anyway welcome Joe -you provide a great service for those of us in need of parts! I never had a problem buying anything from you and if I had a question you folks always took time to get a good answer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,168 #38 Posted January 11, 2014 Im pretty new to this crazy hobby (and Im already "crazy" about it!) and thank goodness early on I found Joes stuff. Im now up around 12-15 parts from him and every one of them were in very good condition (I was really leery about buying a used crankshaft, but the thing was perfect!) and shipping -- along with the shipping being paid, its really fast. Whats not to like?? Several "atta boys" Joe... Bill Pace 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats not to like?? Several "atta boys" Joe... Bill Pace Thanks, I mic all our crankshafts, most camshafts, and test any and everything that can be tested. I do sell a bad part occasionally, but not very many any more. I got pretty good at seeing a bad part. I can listen to an engine and tell you what is wrong with it (in person - doesn't work well over the phone or internet) and can look at a tractor and tell you pretty quick what parts are bad before even taking them off. I love what I do, I love tractors, and I love the customers (most of them - some not so much). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coldone 35 #41 Posted January 12, 2014 Just another thumbs up from a Joes customer. All parts have been excatly as described and clean when they arrive. Plus Joe is a supporter of several GT sites. Thanks Joe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoreau 658 #42 Posted January 12, 2014 I live about 30 miles from Joe and Have gotten to see how his business operates a few years ago. I have to say it is nice, clean and organized! His parts are on most of my tractors and he is a pleasure to deal with! He employs quite a few employes that are all nice to deal with and have never had any issues with what he sells. He does stand behind what he sells and a friend of mine had a issue and he was fast to make it rite with him. I have to say that great people like Joe make it possible for us to fix and repair our tractors!! His shipping prices are fair and fast! I have chosen parts on eBay that were sold from him over less expensive parts just because I know I am getting a good part! If you have any doubt from ordering from him, Don't, He only sells good stuff and is fast to ship! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hm12460 53 #43 Posted January 12, 2014 Been buying from JOP for 12+ years now. All John Deere, Cub Cadet, Wheel Horse stuff. Haven't bought a bad part yet. Shipping is ridicously fast and cheaper than other seller's. I used to feel kinda bad knowing good tractor''s were being parted, but we all need parts to keep our vintage iron running. Keep up the good work Joe. Are you going to get into farm tractor's anytime soon? What about your 8630 John Deere? Is it parted yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SousaKerry 501 #47 Posted January 15, 2014 Joe. I have purchased several times from you, only one bad part ever and you replaced it very promptly and even asked me how I could tell a bad one from a good one so it wouldn't happen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
