Hey John, I live in Concord, NC, and work on equipment for a living. I honestly haven't heard of or found of anybody locally or otherwise making aftermarket parts for Komatsu that would be "machine specific". There are companies doing "general" things like undercarriage parts, cutting edges, and of course engine parts for those machines equipped with a Cummins. Other than that, everything I've ever run into is a dealer only item, and they are proud of the parts. I replaced the muffler on a PC220LC-6 two weeks ago for a customer. The muffler alone was like $475, and not available anywhere else because it was "machine specific" in the way it was made. If your doing this yourself and have the means to modify the machine/muffler mounting, then there are plenty of aftermarket mufflers available through places like Campbell-Brown, Truck-Pro, etc., but beyond that I'm afraid your stuck with Mitchell. Now for the knobs, etc depending on what your looking for, you can try places like Grainger, McMaster-Carr, J&L Industrial Supply, and I'm sure various other places too. These three though I know carry a variety of different knobs for general purpose use. Now let me add my own request on here with John's, if any of you out there know of a good supplier of aftermarket Komatsu parts such as mufflers, etc. please post it because, like I said, I have never had any success finding one and it would sure help me as well as some of my customers out. Good luck, and have fun with your new toy.
