Having worked the parts counter of a Deere dealership long ago, (before the age of computers),we AlWAYS considered it our duty to call neighboring dealers for out-of-stock parts, especially during harvest season. The farmer didn't have to "locate" the combine when he wanted to buy it; - the dealer did that for him! Why should he have to locate the parts to keep it goingIJ I do agree, however, that some farmers should be more aware and "open" to patronizing the aftermarket companies; - there is alot of good product out there!
