Reality check... while JD has online ordering... their stock information and pricing is often not correct.
I most often look up my part numbers for all makes online (JD, NH, Case) and whomever else I can find. Then I call the respective dealer and speak to the parts person and give them the numbers. They generally verify, inform me of number change-ups, etc. tell me where stock is and how long to get. Then they order and I know it's done.

As far as parts cost on Deere stuff... I really don't find them any better or any worse than all of the others. I think in terms of jaw droppers... NH seems to have some of the most oddball crazy pricing on some items. I mean.... things that take the partsman's breath away on the phone. Deere will have stuff that's high but it's not usually out of this world high.

As far as used equipment... I've accumulated a bunch of green stuff. The reasons I've got it are simply that it was either cheap or available at the time I needed it, not because I though any of it had more intrinsic value that other makes. There's deals to be had on anything and everything if you know where to look and aren't in a hurry. Some of my best buys have been from the junk row at the auction.

...and as far as distance to dealers.... I'm over 200 miles from a Deere dealer and probably 400 from the NH dealer I use the most although there are closer ones.

If be looking for the equipment I needed to do the job at the best price I could buy it for given it's condition without much concern for what color it was... excepting the fact that some stuff of particular colors is just junk for it's intended purpose...

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
