How about a new pin topic, or sticky?

I see a lot of people here who need parts for vehicles that are obsolete. Having been originally bought at places like tractor supply. And are no longer made.

These vehicles were made by a manufacturer that likely made several other brands. Might the parts for the other brands still be available? And will they interchange? 

Even if they don't interchange with currently available parts. It would be helpful to know the original interchangeability. To make sourcing used parts easier. 

I'd like to see a forum database of this information. A couple of charts ought to do it. We're seeing quite a few people looking for parts sourcing for stuff that really isn't that old. Yet no longer made. 

Would there be any interest in having, and maintaining, and consolidating this information? It would have to be maintained, just to keep it concise, and uncluttered. Easy to understand, and navigate. 

The members could contribute, but ultimately it would be the staff that would have to organize the information.

I like that idea, it's a good one... Forums are to help people and if there's any way member's can help I'm all for it.

Someone more computer literate than me, would have to set up the whole thing. But let's not kid ourselves, you'd be the main contributor. You've got serious search skills.
