I'm going to give an example of one of the "big 3" and parts availability. I tried to purchase a complete tilt cylinder on a 67 loader from a John Deere 750 MFWD tractor. They sold millions of these tractor/loader combinations. I went to two dealers so it wasn't misinformation. Both parts guys told me "No longer available". I asked if I could buy the parts to assemble a complete cylinder. Any and all parts are "no longer available" You can't even buy a repacking kit for these cylinders and these were built from the late 70's through the 80's. The advice I got was to go to Northern Hydraulics and buy two complete cylinders to solve this problem Point of this story is to show that there is no guarantee about parts availability
