Bottom line is that these companies do not want to support these models any more. Thus they have stopped producing the parts and their supply of spare parts is running out, or they have to make a single piece just for you in their shop.

this is why a secondary market starts. Free market at work.

That is why it does pay to shop around.

I broke a lift arm. Dealear wanted $403.57 after market $35.00 used $20.00

I blew a power steering line on my 861 last year -- dealer wanted upwards of a hundred dollars for it -- told him forget it, went to NAPA and bought a steel brake line for something like 5 bucks -- had lotsa fun with the tubing benders and getting her on without removing the hood, but there's no way I'll ever buy another part for the 861 or my 8N from a dealer.

Yeah, almost as bad. They charge me $13.95 for a quadrant stop for an 8N. Nothing more than a small bolt with an odd shaped head. Then they wanted to sell me a wingnut for another $2.95!!!

Yes, well almost. I ordered (6) 8N distributor cap retaining clips from NH. When they arrived at my door I was billed $78 ($13 each)plus tax and $8 shipping. Non returnable too! They re-checked prices on the NH computer system and said price was correct. Always check prices and shop around, normally I do but slipped that time!
