Best place to get JD parts?

[sweetjeep]

I know a long time ago there was a dealer, likely in the midwest, who offered what appeared to be wholesale parts on factory JD stuff. I don't for the life of me recall the dealer, though I BELIEVE he/they were a site sponsor.

Or if someone cares to share a dealer they happen to like. I need the tie rod "assembly" for my 110TLB. It's the steel rod that connects the two front wheels together. So when you steer they both point in the same direction.

It would appear that I hit a stump and now I have a tractor with a lazy wheel and a tie rod with some extra bendy bits.

I did a quicky websearch and the suggestion that Deere wants $500 for this part make puke appear on my keyboard.


Thanks all

I would try to straighten it. A hydraulic press and maybe a little heat will get it close enough.

Thanks. I intend to do so. But I don't have a suitable press. So I am thinking grab a new one, drop it on and then fix the current one and keep it as a backup.
I am doing a fair bit of land reclamation and I don't suspect that this will be the last time I bend this particular part.

Thanks ZebraFive. Their prices aren't really any better. But they have things in stock.. which in this case is important.

They are better than my local dealer. So if not an emergency and my order is big enough for free shipping, I save the time and fuel going to buy parts.

I plan to buy an inexpensive press from HF to do such repairs. I bend stuff myself on occasion.
