I need to know of a dealer that I can buy ds parts from. For example I just had to buy the three gaskets for the header, the total came to $23.56. The crush washer for the sprocket $5.99 and the 30mm nut $6.99. Is that normal. I just think thats a bit much for those items. Anyone know of a dealer that sells online or over the phone that has good prices on parts?

 

ds parts cost they are made to last , everything but the exhuast washers seem normal to me. there are copper gaskets for the exhaust i like those a lot better azsand had one that expanded into the exhaust and caused a flow restriction. try tvi 503-648-1254.

 

one thing to remember these guys have to make a living, and the more you shop at a place the more likely they are to give discounted prices, kind of the frequent flier program.

 

I'll try tvi next time. Where can you get the copper gaskets?

 

Farm Equipment (Massey-Ferguson, JD, New Holland, etc)...I found the soft copper gaskets for the exhaust at under a buck-a-piece. It's definately hard to find some of the wearing items for the bomb (nuts, bolts, etc.) without having a spec sheet to go by...even then most hardware stores only carry generic grade and selection. I hate buying O-rings, nuts, studs, bolts at the premium $ myself!
