I priced some 456 replacement parts yesterday. Ordered a couple I had to have.
Pretty Pricey!!
Some things got scratched off the list pretty quickly. All I got to say.

Nothing wrong with keeping a parts machine around. Older equipment tends to get dragged off to the scrap yard , and there just isnt many auctions anymore to pick up a spare unit. The price of a new sickle bar mower would almost be enough to stop a mans heart these days. Long discarded mowers , still complete and perfectly useable, but cast off in favour of the new haybinde, often sold at auction just for scrap price . Same thing started to happen with roller bar fakes a few years ago. My brother bought a very nice NH rake for $60.00, he was the second bid.

You need to find a Joe's Machinery catalog. They are Amish and are making about all the replacement parts for NH mowers, rakes, crimpers, balers and many older forage harvesters. I think they supply enough parts to build a new 456 mower and a new 256 rake. Tom

Google Joe's machinery PA and a downloadable catalog shows up or give them a call and they will mail one. I gave my last one away as I have no NH machinery but it is great how many parts they have. Tom
Been a few years since I was pricing a poller bearing for a friend corn planter that I took him to auction to but. Needed the roller bearing in the openers as all were shot. Priced at McCormick dealer, Found exact beating at local Amish dealer, repair shop foe less than one quarter of dealer price and he had them in stock while dealer would have had to order them. So 2 dealers with exact same thing with that mich difference in price ( dealer had no overhead in having them and would have charged shipping ) to the local dealer with the overhead costs of having them in stock. So if that was not price gouging what was it? Rembersame exact item..
The English dealer has overhead in terms of facilities including lighting and labor. He also has to operate a vehicle and keep his electricity loving wife happy. The kids in Amish families are free help until they reach marrying age. Make a regular kid work without pay might put dad in jail for child abuse. I know some people loath to face this and I long for the old days as well but there is no McCormick, Deering, McC-D, or IH dealer in business that specifically are agents for those brands. Those brands have been gone for a long time now.
You do not understand The Amish shop is probanly as big as the dealer and employes probably as many as the dealer, yes family but the kids are all married with thir own familys. And to run a deisel generator to power the shop and I have seen 3 arc welders working at same time, think there was a couple not in use, that probably costs him more than the utilities for the dealer. Then all the other production machiner to make items out of the new steel. New horse drawn cultimulchers and manure spreaders. And they make and ship new machinery all over the country. I was there when they were loading a semi with 10 2 row no till horse drawn corn planters getting ready for that trip to Wisconsin from eastern Indiane. So if you think his trucking is not as much as dealer think again, hiring the trucking probably costs more than owing his own truck would. New steel comes in on a semi load at a time. Alot more fabricating and selling items like gas engines, display rack full of them, and chain saws among other items like parts neened by the local farmers and also used machinery. This is not a small one man operation.
