stvski80085 208 #1 Posted June 5 (edited) Hi, After more than a decade of serving this amazing community, I’m writing to share some important news: iSaveTractors is officially winding down and closing. Since day one, my mission has been to help you keep your vintage garden tractors and small cast iron engines running strong. I’m incredibly proud that iSaveTractors has become a trusted source for hard-to-find parts, knowledge, and support. Whether you’ve placed one order, followed our YouTube channel, or simply shared our name with a friend — thank you. Your support over the years made all of this possible, and I’m deeply grateful. As we close: • Inventory is limited and won’t be restocked • All sales are final • Orders may take up to 5 business days to ship If there’s anything you need — now’s the time to order. Once parts are gone, they’re gone for good. 🛒 Shop remaining parts here → http://www.isavetractors.com Thank you again for being part of the iSaveTractors journey. It’s been an honor. – Norman Ng Founder, iSaveTractors Edited June 5 by stvski80085 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,276 #3 Posted June 5 His gasket sets were excellent. If you're thinking about doing an engine in the near future, might be a good time to get a set on sale before they are gone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 65,620 #4 Posted June 5 As an enthusiast who makes most all his own supplies, I have a hard time justifying the prices of some things I can build. However, there are companies who supply things I can’t create myself, and that’s sad to see them go… 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brockport Bill 1,888 #9 Posted June 6 got the email today about their closing -- fortunately Norman's You Tube videos can still be seen --- videos are very helpful -- I bought modest number of parts over recent years -- ok quality and fair prices - - plus, i always try to spend my $ with the small business entrepreneur than big corporations.

Horsin'round 209 #13 Posted June 6 I emailed Norman yesterday to express my thoughts. He replied almost immediately that he intended to stay active in the hobby, but lamented wrt the burdens of a business. I wish him all the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AHS 1,523 #19 Posted Monday at 08:09 PM Moderators; move this as you may! It’s sad that isavetractors is closing. I was a frequent customer!! Carbs, to fuel pump kits, points and more! I know you can get points nearly anywhere; from Kohler to ebay. Where do they get their carbs? With their names etched into the bowls! IMO good carbs! Fuel pump kits; where do they get those? I got a carb for an C101 and a magnum 12 to buy. Any questions about isavetractors, just write em in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leeave96 490 #21 Posted Monday at 10:15 PM My question - and maybe this should be a different topic… What parts are out there that are no longer available that if you needed one, you would have to park the tractor due to lack of supply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brockport Bill 1,888 #22 Posted Monday at 10:16 PM he mentions in his You Tubes about his carbs - i recall Norm says they are designed to his spec from Taiwan mfg - here is label photo from a carb i bought from them - - note the bottom of label indicating Taiwan - if you want to know the specific manufacturer i suppose you would have to call or email him?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
