Price of a locking washer

JDnTN · May 7, 2011

Recently the question was raised on this forum about the availability of the 3/8 or so washer that locks the nut in place on the shaft of a Cub hydralic pump. A responder recommended fabricating one (a most excellent idea it turns out). I was in a Case/IH place this morning getting something else and just for fun asked about the washer. They have them for only $22 and change. Who said there are no bargains out there??? He said the type of tag on it had not been used by the company since 1999. Jon

Is this pn. 352037R1? 10 years ago they were $1.58. Isn't that just plain nuts? Is a share of FIAT stock included with each purchase of that washer today?

I could go on for days about parts CIH thinks are made of gold. It won't make any of us feel any better, though.

(quoted from post at 20:10:55 05/07/11)He said the type of tag on it had not been used by the company since 1999.

About 10 years ago when CIH was closing/consolidating warehouses, my dad needed fan belts for his 715 combine. The dealer said that when ordering parts CIH dictated that parts had to come out of one of these warehouses that were closing if one of those warehouses had the part(s) they needed. The fan belts came with a 1970's IH wrapper on them (I think i saved that cardboard sleeve somewhere) . They may have been as old or older than his combine. He didn't get 1975 pricing, either. He had to wait a week to get them during harvest season, too, even though there were dozens at warehouses closer.

I also watched them unpack about 2 dozen of what I assume were bearings in West Pullman boxes either for their stock or for another customer that came in the same shipment as dad's belts. There was newer parts in the box, too

You ain't seen nuthin' yet. In the pump one plain ol' gear is over $900.00. The bronze bushing is $204.00 Lucky me I found a used gear for only $450.00. I could have put new live hydraulics on for less $$$.
