John Deere Parts Source

[Richard Rogers]

Who does everyone trust for good new John Deere parts without paying an arm and a leg? I'm rebuilding a 6414 naturally aspirated diesel for a forklift. I'm leery, like anyone, of something too cheap, but inflated parts costs are also a no-no. This engine should be no problem sourcing in both the agricultural and construction sides of JD suppliers. Many thanks for whatever you gents offer as a parts source. Richard

How old is that engine? If it’s old enough, even parts through Deere might not be true “OEM” parts. Reliance is the supplier for a great many engine kits and reviews on them are mixed. Head gaskets in particular are often junk. I would ask a lot of questions as to where exactly the parts come from in a kit, and if it is Reliance or any such, be sure to double and triple check everything as you go.

I’d ask that question on yesterdays tractors or tractor by net

After looking for main-bearing bolts, I decided the old OEM ones were probably less scary than the mysteriously-sourced bolts I'd get from somewhere today. Anything I thought I'd like was out of stock, and cheapies I could get my hands on were not in my comfort zone. I'm sure many others ended up just the same place I didn.

worst case scenario, contact ARP for bolts and studs. that is all they do. $400 for head bolts but they are what you pay for.
