Whether or not anyone is a Deere fan, their parts system is second to NONE. The dealers have hardware and bearing cross-references, IF the parts guys are willing to get them out. The jdparts.com site has a parts search by part "specs", and that's where I checked on the plow bolts. (At the dealer I'm signed up with, the large plow bolts are $2.00 each.) As with everything these days Deere parts often aren't cheap, and they have quite a "rep" for that. However, I did find one exception this summer. I needed a throwout bearing for an 860, with the dual clutch. The local NH dealer priced it out @ about $97.00. (I wonder if they made a mistake?) A local auto parts store I buy a lot of parts from came up with about $35.00. NAPA, in another town, wanted $48.00. Just for the heck of it, I punched the Aetna Bearing number into jdparts. Their price was about $22.00. I ordered it, and it came in an AETNA box, with a Deere part # sticker on it, same AETNA part number on the bearing, as the original. So, you never know who will have the best deal.
