Where to buy genuine cat parts in the Midwest

Ok guys.....as much as I love Caterpillar equipment the cost of replacement parts is ABSURD! There has to be somewhere in the states to buy discounted parts! ANYONE?!?

Which parts are you specifically looking for. I've been surprised with everything I have gotten from them, been much cheaper than I expected and actually one of the cheapest OEM's I get parts from it seems.

Stuff like bogie wheels, undercarriage parts etc......in my personal fleet I have a 277c skid and a 301.5 mini x. My family owned fertilizer plant runs 3 928g wheel loaders and 14 pieces of Ag Chem equipment (terra gators and rogators) that are also sold and serviced by Cat dealers. I know on certain sprayer part items I have found the same thing with other vendors sometimes over 50% less the cost as my local Cat dealer. For instance the 10" bogies on my 277c are $87.00 at my Cat dealer. SOMEONE makes that bogie for cat/asv.....has anyone had any luck buying them anywhere else?

I wouldn't be upset about $87 for a bogie wheel. Im all for saving money where I can but compare CAT prices to Komatsu or Deere and they're pretty cheap.

Or Volvo.

Can't hep on MTL undercarraige parts, I don't own one but yet I have seen a bunch of different aftermarket companies offering them. That doesn't mean ASV/Cat do not make their own to their own specs and anything else will be better. Theres a few threads on here about this topic that may help shed some light on other brands and how well they work.

Sprayers are a little different that specific MTL parts. Not to mention the fact that Ag-Chem ended up with the Cat dealer through Agco and thats been a mess for a lot of people.

Followed the lead from a friend, priced bogie wheels from my local Terex/ASV dealer, exact same bogie wheel was almost exactly 30% less $.

I have been sold on Off Road Equipment down in TN, thanks to Nitelite. I have not been disappointed one bit with them. If you've read any of my thread on the 955L, you'll know how much luck I've had with them.

I run through Champaign all the time. I am just a little south of you, by Effingham.

Jeff at offroadeq.com is very helpful, and they have both CAT and aftermarket.

American crane and tractor in Fenton, Missouri or Boyd and Sons is a ctp dealer or Erb Equipment the deere dealer is great at finding aftermarket for about anything. They are who I deal with anytime I have a cat257 that come in for rollers and tracks. If you call erb ask for Don hesterberg
