Where do you guys source parts for Komatsu backhoes?

[Mr. McTuggart]

For those running Komatsu backhoes, where do you usually buy:

-OEM parts like filters, seals, injectors, and hydraulic components
-Wear items like bucket teeth, cutting edges, and stabilizer pads
-Bigger stuff like cylinders, control valves, or drivetrain parts

Do you mostly go through a local Komatsu dealer, or are aftermarket suppliers and online parts houses worth it?

Sourcing parts for a Komatsu (especially the WB series like the WB140 or WB156) is a bit different than sourcing for a Cat or Deere. Since Komatsu backhoes aren't as common on every street corner, you usually have to be a bit more strategic about where you shop.
