Deere final drive parts.

 I figure it's a shot in the dark but you never know. My Tmbco has Deerected finals in it, not lohman. Found that out the hard way. 😂 they tell me it's the same final that's in a 759 or an 853 ? Fellerbuncher.  Who have you guys had good luck with for the pricy deere parts ? I'm looking for 25% of the guts in the final and new bearing and my local deere dealer who is usually pretty good on parts is coming back at 8,000 which makes me wonder how much a complete final is. Gotta ask, I actually rarely have trouble with finals and this one's going to hurt. 👎

I have a 1270 d John Deere harvester and when I need parts I call used equipment dealers. Equipment salvage places, aftermarket suppliers, machine shops. I call everyone before I call Deere.  They mark parts up at least 300% .if that's the only option than a guy can't do much about it. The down time costs more than the parts usually anyway.  Production loss can never be recovered.

 It was a Lohman gft 60, my mechanic and the one guy at the parts place said "deere", I shook my head and walked away. Cost me another week of downtime, the new one I bought out of Canada should be here next week. I almost had a heart attack when I got the slip and didn't realize it was in Canadian dollars. 😂  I shop around alot of places for parts but was coming up short on this one, it's mud season right now and I've got other irons going so we are going to do a bunch of work to it anyway. I've got an ag dealer who will cross parts with yellow iron for me so I get alot of Deere stuff reasonable, better than Nortrax.

There is a guy in marinesco mi near the Wisconsin border that I buy a lot of used parts from.  Superior parts and sales.  They have a web site. Very reasonable used parts. Huge inventory.

I've priced parts from him often but he usually wants as much or more for used than Ponsse wants for new parts. When we needed a differential/ring and pinion for our processor he had a used one but wanted 1500 more than we bought a brand new one and had it shipped from Finland thru Ponsse.

Second what UPMic stated. Jason at superior parts and salvage is very easy to work with and has been honest on the 2 transactions ive done with him. Just purchased a used 1610 cotta and it looks great. If he has what u need I would go there. I've priced Davco, golden rule, schaffers and Nash he had the best price.

Not trying to hijack barges thread but dang it Paul I'm  working on it lol!!!! Ill try to update my post tomorrow. Progress is slow but it's being done right.

 Superior salvage was the 3rd place I called and he didn't have one. A couple guys off the FF even tried tracking one down for me. 👍 I called probably 14-15 places, I bought a rebuilt one under warranty from a Canadian company, Itec-2000 hydraulics, near thunder bay. My final wasn't blown up, needed the pump shaft, coupling and the first shaft, figured i would do bearings while I'm there. Someone out there has some good parts and I'm going to find them, when it got all said and done I was about 10k, used was 6500+. The bearings and everything else totalled up to almost the point of just buying the remanned unit. I'm so glad I didn't win that clearing job, I would have had to drive to CJ"s in booneville with a jar of lube 😂 and eat the 15k+ a drive motor to have that machine running asap, right now being mud season it's not to bad because she needs some other maintenance. Mine is a 1998, has a whopping 5100hrs on it now 😂 honestly she doesn't use fuel, the barsaw lays wood down so cheap and I'm cutting everything from 6"-36" with that head, I walk away from that 460 on a decent skid.

I appreciate it, and one of these days I need to stop in and see you guys 👍 my new final should be here in 3 days, I beat the guy up pretty good and got him to match that price for 24 months, so if the other ones goes I'm good. The problem with alot of dealers is "used" versus remanned or new, I'm behind and this thing needs to go. 😂
