Title: Shop machine replacement parts
Post by: SwampDonkey on November 28, 2011, 04:58:43 AM
Anyone ever go searching for replacement parts for there machines? I found one online, and decided to try it. I won't post a link as I have just placed a small order to see how I make out. So up front, I'm not endorsing it. It's out in Utah state I believe. From the website it indicates they have been in business for a few years and it's family business.

But, my point is that it's often hard as all get out to find parts for machines. If you have a snow blow or a garden tiller or riding lawn mower your fine. If you want lathe parts your SOOL. ;)

I don't want this to be "a rant on some company" type of thread, keep it upbeat. ;)

I have done business with I'm sure the same company you mention.  No problems especially since they have stock for a wide variety of machines including older machines.  I do online even for heavy equipment as local sources sometimes don't have what I need.
