believe it or not you may want to price your items from the OEM as well as local places. I ran into something similar the other day. I priced seals online as well as locally for the steering gear. I found them through a forklift dealer far cheaper (1/3) than I could get them anywhere else. it pays to shop around. BTW material handling resources http://www.mhrweb.com/ has had the best prices on EVERYTHING I have been looking for. everything from seats to bearings to carriages.
