Almost anything that is a "purchased part" (not actually made by the tractor company) is marked up considerably by that company. By the time it gets to the end user, it will easily be marked up several times, probably at least quadrupled. This is not unique to JD or any other manufacturer. It's just the nature of the beast. I used to be able to buy Cessna parts at cost +10%. Had occasion to buy a power steering gear pump for a C2 Gleaner.... I bought it for $31. Local Gleaner dealer wanted $137. another time, a combination pump for a L2KS gleaner... Approx. $235 at cost +.... Gleaner was approx. $875. Lot of people handled that pump from our OEM price to the farmer. We had a backhoe operator running some field tests for us. We left a spare rotary cylinder with him to use if the test one broke down. About a year after the tests were done and he had his own original cylinder back in use, he called in one day and wondered if he could still use our spare since he was no longer running tests for us... said "I don't have $1000 to buy a new one right now". We sold M-F that cylinder for $250. He had done favors for us, so we gave him the spare.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
