    John Deere alternator, are they this expensive?

    The price was $288.00 for a JD 870 compact tractor alternator. I opened the box and it said "re-manufactured". I bought this directly for Deere and had it shipped. I thought I was getting a new one for that price. Are all alternators rebuilt today? Thanks.
