I have a mid 80s Ford 555 backhoe and am needing some gaskets. I am wondering if anyone knows of any local parts houses that may carry stuff for commercial ford engines?

Its a 201 cid 3.3L diesel 3 cylinder. Im needing a head gasket set (head, intake, exhaust).

New Holland in Auburn and Chehalis can get them, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any others here in WA?

Well I think you answered your question, go to auburn

They are just a dealer with no real parts inventory. They will charge me 3X what the part costs and I have to wait a week for it.

I can order it myself for a third of the cost, not drive to town to pick it up and get it in 2 days doing it myself.

I was just hoping that someone here was in the repair or rental bizz and knew of a place that actually STOCKS parts.

Ill pay extra and drive to town to support a STOCKING bizz, but I have no need to be gouged by a "mail orderer".


Time is money and if I could pick one up locally monday morning and have the thing running by afternoon I would be stoked.

Oh ok i get it now
