Hi HE Forum Members, First off, I apologize if this question has been asked before! I'm a new comer in the industry, and just curious, where do you usually buy your replacement parts from? Do you source them from the local CAT dealer? Aftermarket parts dealer locally? Or do you buy them from a aftermarket/replacement parts website online? Thank you, looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Best

    A lot of parts are manufacturer specific and you have to buy from them. Other parts like filters, hoses a/c parts can be outsourced. Napa and Carquest are usually good resources for generic parts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We get most of ours online. Good quality and low prices.

    Same, depending on what parts you need it's easiest to get them online. Buy generic if and when you can as you get just as good quality, cheaper.

    Do you like used parts or do you generally require new replacement instead? Just curious what folks think about used parts in general?
