TSC Store

[wjytexas]

I am trying to bring back my late son's '58 MF 65 from over a year and a half mothballed. Of course the sediment bowl gasket was toast. The ones I found in my shop were for Fords so I went off to TSC. They actually had 1 package of MF gaskets but I have been fooled before. Yep, it had been opened, the screen still there but the gasket gone. I showed it to an employee and she said they'd mark it down and put it back out. Good luck next person.

TSC used to be a good place. Not much these days.

Some HOA lady came in and thought it would make a cute ankle bracelet for her Laberdoodle.

I guess the "Tractor Supply" part went on vacation with the parts man...
TSC is so hopeless nowadays, they should call it "The Suburban Cowboy" store.

Toys Shoes and Clothes.

Toys Shoes and Clothes.

And pet food. In other words, what makes money. If they had stuck to just tractor parts they would have been out of business years ago.

Their store reminds me of the saying "all hat and no cattle". I do like to shop there for things beside tractor parts.

It must be regional. My local TSC has a lot of ag and tractor related parts. They don't carry brand or model specific parts for the most part, unless it is a real common thing. But I can buy hydraulic parts, 3 point parts, PTO shafts and a lot of other parts I use on my tractors and equipment. And like any store, they're going to carry what sells.

Highest place in town. Prices through the roof.

We have a Runnings a block from TSC. Haven't bought anything from TSC in years. Runnings has a lot more of everything. Pries are abuot the same last time I compared.

I compared prices between TSC and the Fleet Farm a mile down the road. They are almost identical.

I don't disagree. They aren't the only source of tractor parts that we've lost. I'm angry at myself for going there knowing they don't sell tractor or machinery parts.

Got a TSC 11 miles away, another 30 miles away in the opposite direction.
The TSC 30 miles away has a Rural King and a Farm and Home for competion, and is consistently cheaper than the closer store. But the closer store will price match if you can show the price, they won't check for you. I'll have it saved to the cart on my phone, show it to the cashier, no problems.

The closer store is $3 more per bag for layer pellets, cracked corn, most any livestock feed, but I get it price matched.

Couple weeks ago, they had the Traveller UTF on sale...$55 at the close store, distant store was $35. Cheap. Price matched, bought 4 buckets.

You're not old enough to know what they used to be.

Our good farm store is going urban quickly. They still have the small stuff and tires and batteries but what they advertise is clothing and bird feeders. They have to sell what they make money on.

I am, and all they're doing is changing with the market. Pretty smart way to do business.

I remember when tsc was a small company with a few stores in the Midwest. They had the same logo. I used to mail-order from them. Now nearly every town in my area has one.

Here I remember it being Central Tractor. Had one store about 45 minutes away. Don’t think there were any other in the area. They sold all types of salvage tractor parts and farm related items. When they closed/switched hands or whatever happened their used tractor inventory was scrapped.
