What would really suprise you on equipment is how many of the more common items like filters, hydraulic components, etc are bought by the OEM from other suppliers and used on their equipment with no changes. Then when you need one of these pieces and go back to the OEM you get them at an extremely marked up price. There are some deals through the dealerships simply due to the high volume of some items they buy and the huge discount they can get from the actual supplier and then pass on but these items are more the exception than the rule. I bought a hydraulic motor for a piece of equipment the other day...$900+ from the OEM, $360+ for the same motor through our local hydraulic supply house. On the subject of filters I read a thing the other day in the back of a NAPA filter catalog that was really interesting. I believe the name of the act was the "Warren-Magnison (sp?) Act". In effect it's a federal "law" that strictly forbids OEM's from requiring the use of a specific brand/type of filter to retain a factory warranty unless they provide the filter/s in question free of charge. So next time a dealership tells you that they won't honor a warranty because you didn't use a specific filter throw this back at them because in ot honoring the warranty they are in violation of a Federal law.
