In Reply to: JD Parts Pricing posted by Traditional Farmer on May 09, 2013 at 04:48:42:
The problem with OEM parts is the less they sell of a part number. The more they want for it. The more they want. And you are paying more just because it comes in a JD box.
Back in 06, a friend of mine needed a starter drive for a JD 620. I ordered him one. it cost about $40. he saw the plain paper bag it came in and was sure it wasn't any good.
My sales man has told me for years, he sells the exact same starters/parts as the OEM dealers. My friend went to Deere and ordered a drive. His cost $90. Both drives said "made in Mexico" on the bottom. I told him he paid $50 for the JD box. Later when my salesman came around I mentioned this too him. He laughed and said his parts come off the same asembly line as Deeres.He buys the drives in 55 gallion card board drums. His are cheaper because they don't come in a Deere box.
A month later I sold my drive to another guy with a 620. To this day,neither tractor has had starter trouble.
