The parts you use to maintain, upgrade, and repair your tractor are crucial for your equipment’s performance and quality. Whether you’re tackling a major repair or need to complete regular maintenance, Mahindra® USA wants to make sure you have the right parts that complement your equipment. You can contact your local dealer to place a parts order and have your questions answered. But first, continue reading for a few helpful tips on finding the right parts to maintain your equipment.
1. Part Number
When you realize you need a part, the first thing you’ll need to do is identify the part number. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to see the part number on the old part because it’s been worn down and has built up grime. So instead, you’ll often need to utilize the manufacturer diagrams to identify the correct part number!
These diagrams are often available online but you can also utilize your local parts department for assistance. The parts experts at your nearby Mahindra® dealer can look up the items you need and ensure you’re getting the part that accurately matches your specific model.
2. Part Type
Another thing you’ll need to know when you’re shopping for tractor parts is what type of part you want to purchase. We generally recommend sticking with OEM parts, or parts that were made by the original manufacturer. Choosing OEM parts ensures that your replacement will function as intended within the overall system! Since the same manufacturer makes them, you can expect the same quality and same materials that were used in the original design of your tractor.
Although OEM parts are usually recommended, there are other options available. Different companies manufacture products to use with various equipment, and this can be a good choice if you’re making customizations or want to consider a different price point. However, it’s crucial to really do your research before you commit to purchasing any parts for your equipment. Ask trusted individuals in your network, speak with parts experts, and discuss options with your mechanic to get the best insights and idea of what parts have the best quality and value.
3. Part Availability
Sometimes your parts purchase comes down to availability, especially if you’re in a time crunch. Certain times of the year can be especially crucial for equipment upkeep, but breakdowns can happen. Although your local dealers try their best to keep everything you’d need in stock, occasionally supplies are limited or sell quickly. In these scenarios, you may have to make your purchase solely based on what’s available. If this is a concern for you, you might consider creating your own stock of parts to keep on hand year-round!
