Simple New Holland lx565 starter failure was catastrophic because part prices are outrageous.

We replaced the muffler on our New Holland ls160 skid steer. New Holland wanted $1000! After market $170

I'm starting to think manufacturers are just concentrating on parts they can make proprietary and just let China make cheap knockoffs.

I went to my local caseih dealership a few days ago 2 buckets of hytran and a few small parts for a 684 was pushing a grand !

I definitely wouldn't skimp on the oil but nowadays it about weighing the price of the part to get it now or wait and order cheaper somewhere else. I ordered the starter Saturday and hopefully will have it by next Friday just to save $120.

Amazon $132

Got one coming off eBay for $118.

i thought theses engines slide out easy for service ?

Engineers make things easy to assemble not service.
