 Topic: Percent of A-C Parts Discontinued???
Posted: 23 Feb 2010 at 5:05pm |

Just wondering what you guys all think, what percent of A-C parts have been discontinued by AGCO overall? I'm talking about all old A-C equipment, plows, balers, rakes, tractors, etc. I think it might be somewhere in the 80% range myself.

That is a good question. I do know that I was still able to get parts for my old sickle mower and 904 mower conditioner last year, but at a hefty price. It would be nice to see a list of all the discontinued parts.

It would be easy if AGCO would put a small case d in front of every part number in their online catalog for easy identifacation of discontinued parts, eh? Gary

I would say that 80% would be a conservative estimate excluding tractors. To actually go through all of their parts books and label each discontinued part would be an unbelievable task. If you have a question on a part call a dealer, give them the number you found on the website or in a book and they will tell you if it is available.
Although we take it for granted at times we are lucky we can get parts for 50+ year old tractors.

We once had a 10 year old Kubota that needed a bunch of parts that were NLA. As Jim says, we should count our lucky stars that we are able to get parts for 50, 60, and 70 year old equipment.

It seems like more and more parts get discontinued each day to me.
