Two years ago I bought a clean, used Scotts (built by JD) 17 HP 42" mower for $400. Halfway through the first season, the deck belt broke. No way was I gonna pay $50 at JD for a new belt, so I picked one up at the local industrial supply outfit for $28. At the end of the same season, it broke. So I saved $22 but only got 1/2 a season out of it anyway. Fast forward to this spring, roll the mower out of the garage, clean it up and service it, install another new belt that I got from the other local industrial supply (no way was I gonna pay $50 at JD for a new belt) for $22...didn't get half the yard done and it broke. Went to local JD one day after work, paid the $50 and now have several weeks of trouble-free mowing on it.
Slightly different scenario: we have a JD 425 at work, starter is going bad. I called JD, replacement one is $311. I spent about twenty minutes looking online and found the same starter for $57 at another parts house in Florida(I think).

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
