I fully understand the cost associated with maintaining an inventory of parts for basically obsolete equipment. I really don't blame Deere & Co. for the price of parts. The local dealer is the one that burns my a$$! I ordered a service manual on cd a few weeks ago on a stock order. That means it came with their other parts ordered and not special freight. After I waited 2 weeks for the cd, they had the nerve to charge me a $10 shipping fee for a $40 cd. Dealers only want to cater to the guys that just bought a $150,000 tractor from them. They figure that the little bit of parts that we buy for our hobby makes us more of a pest than a profitable customer. If you can't make enough on JD's list price for the parts, make up bogus charges to pay for your lunch.
