Sparky-(Admin) 21,300 #10 Posted May 24, 2014 Great article! Thanks Neil! It would be just awesome to wander into a dealership in the 70's and see all those virgin machines sitting on the showroom floor wouldn't it? Mike............. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorekiwi 761 #18 Posted May 25, 2014 When I lived in Indiana, Humphreys was my local Toro dealer. It got to the stage that the parts guy would just call Phil as soon as I walked through the door, because he knew that I wanted something weird, and that Phil would know what it was off the top of his head. Phil is a great guy, and always willing to share a story. With this weekend being Memorial weekend, I will mention that Phil competed in the Indianapolis 2 1/2 on more than one occasion, and the stories are well worth listening to. Joyce is awesome too, I think she knows the parts better than Phil, if the truth was to be told. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
