Ouch!

I have been a New Holland owner since 2004 and have noticed a steady increase in parts over the years, but today I could not beleive my eyes when the dealer charged me over $56.00 for an air filter! In 2006, I only paid $24.00! What could possibly cause an air filter to double in price in only 5 years? Does anybody know where I can buy after-market parts for New Holland? I hate to have to go that route, but Ford pricing is just getting out-of-hand. Any help would be appreciated! :confused2:

i was payin in the mid 30's for inner and outter for mine.

priced a muffler the other day. for the riser, gaskets, muffler ans clamps would have been near 500$.. I did a lil torch and welder work and used a cheap stanley baffled tractor muffler and got by for under 40$

on the flip side.. I see our dealer now sells lubriguard UTF which is 31$ a pail vs near 60 for the ambra g..

It all depends on what model you have on whether that is expensive or not. It is a little high for a TC33 but not for an LW130B.

I looked at your profile to see that you have a TC24. Here is Napa's filter and list price for that machine. The price in the store will be significantly less. 9410 Napa filter

Thanks Brian! I'll check it out.

Thanks Brian! I'll check it out.

I can't tell from the picture if that filter is open on both ends. If it is only open on one end you might look at this filter also. 6449 Napa filter

I'd be heading to my auto-parts store and look in his cross reference book. Last time I bought filters for my JD the dealers price was better than the Canadian Tire price...ditto on the battery

Thanks to all for the help! My wallet thanks you too!

While buying some parts for my Arctic Cat snowmobile, I was told the rubber seal for the lid on the master brake cylinder was only available with the cover at a cost of $90.00. Well it isn't that bad so I suggested that I didn't really need it, but could use a new screw to hold down the cover as one is bent. I was quoted $6.00 for this screw which is about a #8 machine screw about 3/4" long (probably metric). If they continue to try to rip me off, I'll retalliate by selling the thing and replacing it with nothing.
