unkelfergus Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Dont want to start an argument but the higher the amp output of the alternator, I.E 150amp most common these days on mf the higher the price. Even i have heard of mf customers refusing to pay the sort of money, the stores are charging and getting them repaired. Some say diode pack in rear of alternator fails guy sourced one for a £5 fitted it himself saved a few hundred quid. You will find that todays tractors with all there computers and lights, will already be nearing the limit of the alternator output. Without power hungry control boxes and and cameras, lights etc fitted onto implements. But i also think that these mass produced items are expensive. Here's an example a machine i know of no names but it aint a massey three fuel filters two at £49 each and one long water seperator one a whopping £203 through the manufacturer. I wouldn't even buy the machine knowing that , I aint kidding you either. But il find out what the massey 150amp alternator costs. We have a chap 10 minutes up the road from us,..Lucas trained,all he does is recondition/repair starters and alternators.We have used him for the last 30 -35 years and we have never paid stupid money for any new item from him. As for dealer prices for this stuff,......they're a bloody joke.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano MFmad Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Too true having a family farm but working for a dealer lets you see both sides. We always check prices first but don't knock all the dealer prices, cause we have motor factors like dingbro that some times work out dearer than our parts department. Our local auto electrical repair place charges a small fortune he some times costs more to repair than buy new as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Never!!!!!!!! No more new John Deere tractors will come onto the fleet after the 6920s, there's too many horror stories locally, particularly relating to the 7530. It will be a Claas, MF or Case/NH when we change it wow I don't think I have ever heard anyone who drove a deere not like them....wonder did you get a lemon Gavy???
