I got pricing from Peterson, a little scary and the delivery time was way out there.Hud-Sons in NY maintain a basic parts inventory from Peterson. Lucas and Peterson owners will tell you that the mills are quite basic compared to hydraulic band mills for example. So far I've only needed a few small parts in 4 years and the postage hasn't been much of a factor. I think the only real problems would come if I damaged the mill frame or rails in a major way, that would be expensive but I'm making money with it so I don't worry much about it. So far there's only one customer I let near it with a fork lift. p.s. I suspect now's a good time to get one with the exchange rate being what it is, highest in a long time. p.s.s. Support is not really an issue, can get them on the phone at their toll free number. Talk to your salesman or Kerris or Chris Browne the owners directly. But have to remember they're about 15 hr ahead, so can't get them till the end of my day. So I count on figuring things out myself in the field.
