[AJD] Aftermarket VS Mother Deere

[Dean VP]

Chris:

Unfortunately JD doesn't sell or stock many of the old two cylinder parts
anymore. And the ones they do sell have gone up in price dramatically but
with some notable exceptions which you have discovered such as rings. I
suspect both of us have access to the same two local JD dealers, Barnett
Implement in Mount Vernon and Snohomish. Since JDParts shows a price, the
rings may not be in our local dealers stock but they can be ordered from the
JD Portland regional warehouse with overnight delivery. And if Portland
doesn't have them JD will ship them for any regional warehouse that does
have them in stock. However, the dealer may charge you for the extra freight
to get them here overnight. If you are willing to wait for their normal
weekly stocking order there won't be any extra freight added. I believe both
Mount Vernon and Snohomish place their weekly stocking orders on Monday.
Notice that Sumner, Lynden and the Abbotsford JD dealers don't have them in
stock either. 

I suspect Greg Stephen would probably have the JD rings in stock.

I don't have an answer for you on the generator but I would be very
cautious. In my experience, whenever JD makes a substitution on the part
number there is a very good chance the part has changed as well. I wouldn't
depend on any answers you get on this subject from Mount Vernon or
especially the Snohomish personnel since Roger has retired.
 
I suspect Greg could answer this question though.

   Recently I signed up for the Online John Deere
parts service,  and while I find it mainly frustrating
that most of what I look up is an invalid part,   Some
of the things I have looked at have been very
interesting. 

    Today,  I was looking up AA4923R .045 Piston
Rings.  $69,  of course not in stock at the two
dealers that the online parts will let me look at.  
So,  off to my local parts house,  they finally found
the number,  but could not tell me if they were the
1/4 inch rings or the 3/16 rings I needed.  No mention
of straight gas or all fuel,  and to top it off they
were $119.  And I get Jobber pricing from them...  
 
     I also looked up a replacement 6v Generator on
the Deere Parts site.   $150 for a reman didn't seem
terribly awful to me,  of course,  again not in stock,
 and it changed the part number I gave to a TY number
of some sort.  I wonder if it is a different style
than what I am expecting,  or a old rebuilt delco
remy?
