Lots of parts on eBay but not all are high quality. I bought an ignition switch that was made in Turkey. It was a piece of s--t. |

Maybe right here depending on what you need? What do you think Yesterdays Tractors does other than have a tractor forum? |

Just as a curtisy to the website you should search under tractor parts in the left column. The only confusion we had in 1000's I spent here was standard diesel bearings.... but that is always a confusing engine... |

I've purchased plenty from this site. I think their parts are as good as any out there and their prices are generally better than other places I've looked. I'll buy the occasional piece from ebay if I can find a good used part etc. I figure for all the good advice and conversations I have on this site I might as well support them and keep the forum going.
Many parts available, probably the vast majority are aftermarket from any supplier. Certain things are still available as OE but even the stuff in a Massey box might be made in India, Turkey......who knows where else.
Only thing I ever had problems with was a manifold for my 202 and I can't even remember where I bought it from. It was a very rough casting which required a lot of grinding/filing to get it to fit and so I could tighten up all the nuts properly. |

I give this site first dibs, then usually Steiner. |

Its hard to find any aftermarket parts that are not from another country.If you go to a dealer that has in stock or can get from Kansas City Warehouse it might be original. |

I'm in canada, I don't think I can buy parts from this site. Otherwise, my experience is hit and miss from whoever. Lots of parts are designed for more than one model and one doesn't have much choice, some modification may be necessary. |

I'm lucky in that regard, I am in Canada but I live right on the border and have a place to ship to in the US. |

No it's not......and I feel terrible every time I make the 10 minute trip to pick up my tractor parts and think of all the other Canuks who are without a place to easily and inexpensively get their tractor parts. |
