Exactly! PTO parts, drive shafts and some deck parts are probably the most expensive for the Lo Boys. Plenty of salvage transmissions, final drives and engines out there if needed.
In my experience, customers with small tractors were always shocked by parts and repair prices. However, the converse was true when it came to choppers and combines. Chopper repairs on 7000 and 8000 series Deere models could easily be 20k and the farmer would not freak out!
