Yup dealer carries these, and I was actually cheaper to buy the return hose
with connector ($30) there then to buy the hose and separate "universal"
connector from Canadian Tire(hose $29 connector $26). CT was about 1/4 of
the price for the supply hose though ( $35 @ CT and $88 dealer).

Geeze JD, we had to get new lines for our the chainsaw last year, went to
the place where we bought the lawn tractor, told the guy we needed a foot,
he grinned and insisted on giving it to us. A little later in the season we
had to get some for the leaf blower and he was going to give that to us too
but we insisted on giving him a couple of bucks. Told him it made us feel
guilty.

I'd give that guy you're doing business a piece of my mind and tell him
that's why I was going to do business elsewhere. Including my next
equipment purchase and equipment repairs too.
