Dear Mister
My tractor she broke the big cog this morning and please I want new one quick. The cog which is broke is the big back one. She has forty-five tooths and the hole is big on one side and bigger on the other just like the hole in a pick.
The little side of the big hole just take a chooks egg and she measure half my axe handle wide and a thumb long on the tooth.
Three tooths are busted and she just go bang and stop. Please send it quick as I got a lot of ripping to do and if shes not fixed by Monday I got to get Mick Turners horses and rip.

Dear Mr Barassi
We were sorry indeed to hear of the misfortune you had in breaking one of the cogs or, shall we say gears in your tractor, but unfortunately we cannot accede to your request for immediate action as, whilst the description you give indicates to us that your machine is a Model X8, and that the broken gear is a bull wheel, there are three different types. Our finding in respect to the above is based on the assumption that the egg you used to measure the small end of the tapered bore was a hen'’ egg and not a pullet'’, and that your axe is a full axe and not a half axe or tomahawk.
To enable us to decide which type will suit your machine, it will be necessary for us to know the serial number. This is readily available to us where the user is an original owner, but as your name does not appear on our list, we presume that you purchased the machine secondhand.
In view of the foregoing, would you please let us know the serial number of your machine, It would also be as well for you to describe it in case our assumption that it is a Model X8 is incorrect.
Again regretting that we are unable to give you the immediate action you request.

Whats the matter with you blokes, I say my cog broke, you say shes a gear, and then call him a bull wheel. Its cog that broke I tell you and its got forty-five tooths.
Shes got four wheels two on the front and two on the back what she runs on the ground with but they not broke.

My tractor she got number X8 240. My brother Charly who don’t live here anymore bought him at a sale.
Please send cog quick, I use hens egg to fit hole and not one with two yokes or pullets. Shes got your name on the place where the water gets hot and my axe shes a mans size and not womens or boys. What you think I am?
Please send the cog quick pay when she comes. I got plenty money to pay.

Farm K 609 Dear Mr Barassi
Your letter (undated) in reply to ours of the 15th inst., came to hand this morning and, whilst the information you give definitely indicates that your machine is a Model X8, we regret to advise that the number of the radiator, and not the serial number.
We are perhaps as much to blame as you for this mistake, as we should have told you that the serial number is to be found on the name plate affixed to rear end of the right hand side under the fuel tank.
Regretting this oversight on our part and awaiting the favour of your reply.

Dear Mr Barassi
It is indeed unfortunate that the specification plate has been removed from your tractor. Had we foreseen such an unusual happening, we would have asked you to let us know the serial number of the engine. This will be found behind the pilot motor on the crankcase. A smooth spot on the flange will indicate the exact position, and if indistinct first clean the spot with a rag and rub it over with chalk. Then after wiping off the surplus chalk, the number will stand out clearly.
Again regretting the delay and awaiting the favour of your reply.

Memo. William Adams
Parts & Service Department
One of our field men reports that a Mr Mario Barassi of Farm K 690 Tylden Road, Little Italy, applied to your department on January 14 for a bull wheel for his Model X8 Tractor and despite the fact that we have ample supplies of these parts in stock he was kept waiting almost a month before it was railed to him. It should be unnecessary to point out to any spare parts and service manager worthy of the name that gross delays of this nature not only hold up work in an essential national industry at a time of intense emergency, but reflect very seriously on the reputation of the company and Mr Barassi’s home life.
Kindly see that there is no repetition of this neglect and delay otherwise you will have no opportunity to make a third failure of this or any other type for this company. If you cannot organise your department to ensure prompt response to all calls for replacement parts from our customers, when all necessary details are given – as I am assured they were in this case – you had better find some other post more suited to your peculiar talents.
