coonie Minnie The only good thing that has came about with the local JD store here being part of a ten store chain is parts from the other stores. They run several vans around to the stores twice each day here. IF the local does not have the part and one of the other stores does I can usually get that part by early afternoon if we find out before 10 AM. IF it is after that it will be around 9 am the next morning. The times are a little different at each store as the schedule of when the vans get there is different.
As for direct shipping parts to the customer. JD keep track of how many parts are "Machine down " ordered. This is the only way to direct ship form the JD depot to the customer. IF the JD dealership orders too many parts "Machine down" then they lose discounts they have earned from JD. JD set this program up thinking it would encourage stores to stock more parts but it has cause many dealerships to just quit ordering "Machine down" parts even if the additional cost is passed on to the customer/buyer.
Truthfully I rarely need parts ordered machine down any more. The JD dealerships around here get stock orders three times each week so it usually is just one more day to get it on a stock order. The only time I would need it faster is during harvest or planting.
As for JD allowing other parts sources. That is up to the store owner and parts managers. They can handle after market parts they just have to stand up to the territory managers from JD and tell them WHY. Your not going to get a JD 4020 hood form JD but there are after market suppliers. With the chain stores too many people are between the owner and the JD Territory managers. An employees is mush less likely to stand up to a JD Company man. So you get this rubber stamp mentality.
