Holy cow!
I am absolutely amazed you would post this begging for free parts. I thought the other guy was a one-off wacko and after the business he caught you post asking for free stuff too.
Read every response he got and they now apply to you.
We are truly becoming a society of 'where's my free stuff too'. What's a winter layoff? Does that mean you don't try to find a job now for the winter?
Amazing.
