dam john deere and Chinese bearings!

[seldomseen]

You would think that with the cost of these machines they could at least use American made bearings!
Maybe Trump should talk to then about where to shop.

They want you to believe that Chinese "quality control" makes sure they're "within specs". Ya, ok.... if you know what size it is and it's operating specs shop at a reputable bearing supply store and buy a better quality bearing cheaper. But sometimes time is of the essence and you pay "a King's ransom for a lowly peasant"! Lol.

Are things that tough that dealers need to mark up cheap quality junk parts(generic) over what you can buy quality parts for from other non-ag related retailers. Are you listening? Get ****ing competitive.

Bearings, some belts, alternators, starters, lights....non proprietary.

In season sometimes you have to buy dealer crap...off season in the shop---time can be on your side!
