Default Best Farm Parts

Has anyone here had any experience with Best Farm Parts? I ordered clutch parts for a Kubota tractor last week (the 11th) and when I checked on the status today it said processing. I sent an e-mail to them but no response. Wondering if I may be out of nearly $200 or not?

Was the part in stock when you ordered it?

Why would you be out $200? Did you send cash?

I thought the parts were in stock but apparently they may be sourcing the parts from somewhere else, I don't know.
Already paid for the parts when I ordered them with my debit card.

Never use your debit card for online purchases, always use a credit card so you have some recourse if something goes wrong.

Can't believe banks still issue debit cards, they are extremely dangerous.

When it comes to Kubota, Messicks is my goto source. Decent prices for OEM parts, huge inventory.

If you ordered OEM Kubota parts it's very likely they are sourcing them from a Kubota dealership, Kubota doesn't let a lot of parts escape their dealer network. If you ordered aftermarket that wasn't in stock, it's likely they may be coming here from China or India.
When it comes to Kubota or New Holland I've learned OEM parts are you best bet. I split my New Holland twice to install aftermarket throw-out bearings .. both failed within a year, third time a NH part, still going years later.

You can get away with India produced clutch disks and pressure plates, often the OEM parts are sourced from there. Do not using anything but OEM throw-out bearings.

Got my parts today. Now see if I can find time to break it down and put the new assembly in.
