While the company makes 'x' number of product & stockpiles it for years, your example is valid. They have to figure interest on the manufature & storage & shipping of these small parts. It adds up. On the other hand, you notice that they carge 300% on items you can't get anywhere else - and are right in line with NAPA & the like for items that you can find elsewhere. So, they are taking what they can out of the system. And, many things are made 'special' when they would not hace had to have been, like wheel rims (small - bolt patterns), simple items. Just to be able to corner the market - but now, it costs them too much to stockpile all the 'special' items. My comments apply to most all implement manufaturers, not picking on JD. Capital Enterprise I guess. --->Paul
