spin_dry Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It’s not just a parts shortage. It’s the quality of parts. Camshafts and lifters that aren’t hardened. Pistons that are annealed and brittle. It’s a mess. The global supply chain is pretty well broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were close to a deal then the salesman called me and said deere just told them that they can’t even sell their allocation, they have to go back and cancel signed deals. heard Rocky Mountain is getting around 15 new tractors for 35 stores it’s getting squirrelly out here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Combines and headers aren’t showing up on time. Old construction equipment is selling for big money because you can’t get new. I thought it would recover quicker than this but it’s getting worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you sold 100 x350's last year, you're only getting 10 units this year. I sold 2000 oil filters to a Deere chain last week because Deere can't supply them..

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted July 28, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Still seeing issues with getting parts in collision repair too. It’s weird some things come in a few days but then others it’s weeks for things you’d think be in stock. 40 minutes ago, ACE said: Combines and headers aren’t showing up on time.

In 30 some years, I have never seen anything like this. Everything is so fucked up, now. I wont start a job until I have parts in hand. Just sent a minivan home yesterday after a couple weeks . Still waiting for a bumper cover. Just paid $140.00 for a gallon of filler. 400.00 for a pint of paint. Estimating system can’t keep up with part increases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag6240 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Look no further than the snowmobile market. Same thing happening there. Used sleds going for more than they were new, with thousands of miles on them. I sure hope any of you that actually still ride, get on the maintenance and upkeep sooner than later. Once everyone sees that first snow flake in the air, I suspect parts will become harder to get there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss won’t preorder parts unless the customer pays for them up front we’ve got stiffed one to many times with no shows then you’re stuck returning parts that may not be returnable or have a 25% restocking fee that we have to take the hit on. We’ve had to put more than a few cars back together after tear down because after ordering parts we find out they are months out. I’ve never heard no ETA on parts more in my life 😂 it’s almost a daily occurrence. How far out are you guys booking? We are going into October now and I hear some shops around here are already basically booked full for most the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 We installed two camshafts in a mid 2000 Chevy. Both had defective hardening and failed. Finally bought a used camshaft from a local salvage yard and a set of NOS lifters from marketplace. The truck is running great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We quit dealing with several places over it. Every now and then if you needed a core support, some odd inner structural part , you would hear ETA . Now it is everything you order. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not greg b Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 This has been going for the last 18 months in the ag business. Kiot and cnh quit taking orders all together for a while. The prices change about every 3 months as well. This is all I have dealt with since about fall of 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
