Warren M; I think that your shopping prowess is getting the best of you.
Although I prefer to buy locally, I find I pay an average of 4 times more locally than what I can buy parts from a forklift parts supplier.
Example: A Clark transmission filter list price is about $27.50
Local parts store #1- $44.00
Local parts store #2- $55.00
I priced out a Hyster seal for a customer yesterday.
Hyster list price $5.65
He got quoted $25.00 from a local parts store.

As a dealer, I don't know of one local automotive parts store that has the fogiest notion of sourcing any forklift truck part.
