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.
