Just curious, but what's wrong with buying from a dealer?
Seriously? I support my local dealer as much as I can. I buy genuine Bobcat filters and fluids, but if I can find a part that's not "genuine" Bobcat I save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Just curious, but what's wrong with buying from a dealer?

In the case of a wiper motor, I'm not sure if you'll find a better deal, or even an aftermarket replacement. I can't speak for your local dealer, but we spend a lot of time and research making sure we stay competitive, even if it means carrying a cheaper aftermarket alternative, or discounting prices to meet the competition.Seriously?

Not to mention the ease of finding the correct part is almost always going to be less painful going through a knowledgable dealer. JMHO.
Hows about $100. diff. this part isnt bobcat only Its a wiper motor There are plenty of bobcat OEM parts that you have to buy, this motor isnt one.Just curious, but what's wrong with buying from a dealer?
I spent 5min. on line and heres the first pick Im not sure what a 773 looks like but heres a start. http://tmcin.com/modeltmc-00901-12vheavydutymarinewipermotorwith1shaft.aspxHows about $100. diff. this part isnt bobcat only Its a wiper motor There are plenty of bobcat OEM parts that you have to buy, this motor isnt one.
I found lots of wiper motors. The issue is, there is a certain bolt pattern through the windshield that I'd like to marry up to. I'm not real interested in re-drilling the glass door to mount a wiper motor. Thanks anyway.I spent 5min. on line and heres the first pick Im not sure what a 773 looks like but heres a start. http://tmcin.com/modeltmc-00901-12vheavydutymarinewipermotorwith1shaft.aspx

Maybe the dealer as a first option isn't such a bad idea after all? ;-)I found lots of wiper motors. The issue is, there is a certain bolt pattern through the windshield that I'd like to marry up to. I'm not real interested in re-drilling the glass door to mount a wiper motor. Thanks anyway.
Well how about 700.00 for a carb rebuilt kit for a 642b Does that seem a little steep to you???? I'm curious as how anyone could attempt to justify this type of price ????Maybe the dealer as a first option isn't such a bad idea after all? ;-)
I'm sure that's where I'll go. Either that or live without the wiper if the price is too high. Our dealer here is great to work with and very helpful, but not always the best price.Maybe the dealer as a first option isn't such a bad idea after all? ;-)
Well, all that for nothing. The wiper motor at the dealer is only 120 bucks so not as bad as I thought. Got one on order.I'm sure that's where I'll go.
