(I will use this response as a catch-all statement). If it is a Case-IH part, it is generally better than the aftermarket one. The price reflects that. Many Case-IH parts are outsourced to Mexico. But, not all Chinese/Taiwan/India parts are bad. Also my reference to OEM was not the company, but "Original Equipment Manufacturer", which Case-IH is, or, they have parts built to their specifications. OEM Corporation (aftermarket) does have its problems. As to Case-IH dealers, most are directly connected by computer to the Case-IH distribution network (or whatever it is called). I seldom go to the dealer and have them look up a part. I give them part numbers. They know within seconds whether they have it, whether or not it is still in production, and where it is. If it is not at one of the distribution centers, they can do a dealer search and see if any other dealer has the discontinued item. I did that for an air cleaner hose for my 460. Dealer told me that a dealer in Canada had the "only one in North America". I think Case-IH's parts network is the best anywhere. Can't say the same for their prices though.
