I read the Napa rant/post below. I think it is funny how some guys will buy the cheapest/junkiest parts to put on a high value piece of equipment. Even if it is not high value equipment what is your time worth when you get short life or high failure rates out of the junk parts???

I get at least a call a month where a guy's tractor quits. Go to see what is wrong and find imported/cheap ignition parts. Put in good quality parts and the guy argues with me about how mine are too high but they work. LMAO

I have not installed customer bought parts for years. I will install a used part that is in good condition from a parts tractor. What I mean is the junk bought down at the Auto Zone type of places that have everything from China.

The customer wants me to stand behind my work but would want me to use junk/cheap parts. So the parts fail and he wants me to warranty the repair. I have wasted hours because of bad "new" junk parts.

For oil filters. I go with OEM when I can. The few dollars more for the correct filter is cheap in the long run. There are much better places to save money. If you got your filters given to you for a year it would not save you very much.

Had a fellow buy Elcheapo/Fram/junk filters. Wiped out his JD 15 speed power shift because the filter restricted the oil circuit. He saved 15$ on the filters and cost himself $6500 in transmission repair. Made me money. I did tell him If I found any filter other than JD in that tractor I would not warranty any of the repair.
