Older axial flow spares availability

[Flat 10]

2388 and back. I know they are good buses, worked with them in the past but what is spares availability like in the UK? Don’t want to wait 3 days for bits from USA. I have no idea whether that’s the case or not but it’s not something I can afford to entertain. Any users @tw15 and anyone else. Thanks

I've a 2166, spares have been no problem, I've only needed a chopper belt (operator error when changing between chopping and swathing) which was on the shelf.

And I changed the shaker bushes a couple of years ago as precautionary maintenance, again they were on the shelf.

In the USA you can buy Axial Flow parts from Amazon!

When I've needed Case parts they've always been next day, obviously part of CNH parts now.

Lots of common parts between series and models which helps spares availability too.

We have run 4 Case AFs over the years, from a 2188 through to the present 7140, and I bet there some parts that will swop between those two machines.
Not many but there will be some.
