| Claas 740/750 combines. Can't take oil filter off without making a mess and getting oil underneath engine in engine bay. Everything is held on by a slotted nut. And everything has a different slotted nut. So you can either have an expense socket for every possible slotted nut on the machine (and claas doesn't make the part numbers for these special tools easy to find) or you have to take a punch and pound it around, mangling the nut and sometimes it's too tight or in a tight spot. Of course everything is metric. And the parts aren't always easy to get, not in stock, back ordered, etc. And expensive. And the bearings are super expensive, and they contract with the bearing manufacturer to make a bearing that is exclusive to them that you can't get anywhere else. Like they'll have a locking collar on the bearing, but it'll be on the wrong side so the grease holes don't line up with the pillow block. So the bearing costs double to 4 times as much for the exact same bearing except the minor detail that the grease holes don't line up. | |
