Totally agree on Cat. They were a problem a couple years ago when Finning tried to break the union and moved the parts out of their warehouse into a third party warehouse that was non union. They still use a logistics company for their warehouse but they've sorted things out and parts are back on line. If they don't have the part in stock, they will locate what warehouse it's in and tell you what time it will be shipped and what time it will be arriving, usually the next day! They also have parts for old machines. They are pricey but they are available. I know a guy who bought a 1947 D4 instead of a newer TD9 because he can go right to Cat for most of the parts he needs.

A lot of parts for 350 and 450 crawlers built up to 1987 are no longer available and there's still a lot of these machines working or could be if parts were available. JD parts usually take about 4 days if they're available. I've found Agco to be pretty good for MF parts as well.
