Desko 607 #3 Posted November 12, 2023 Little red barn on ebay seems to have a pretty good selection of aftermarket onan part's. They recently brought out connecting rods for the 18-20hp since they are nla from cummins which is nice. I've used a good bit from them with no complaints.

Only problem ive had with them was i bought a homelite 330 saw ring set they listed would fit my 330. I painstakingly tore that saw apart and...nada, rings wouldn't fit the piston or cylinder. They said ohh yeah you need a piston and ring set..so i ordered that, didn't fit, too big. So now im like $75 into useless parts, and they were like...it should fit. I found a nos set of rings on ebay, put them on the old piston..ran fine. LRB offered nothing, no return, refund, explanation...nothing. Ive used a few of their stihl kits with 0 problems though.

Desko 607 #5 Posted November 14, 2023 That's ashame to hear. Hopefully they've gotten better? I'm wondering if that's why isavetractors dropped the onan stuff because LRB picked all the onan stuff up and stopped them from doing it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is all that he ever had, I believe he enjoys personal contact rather than digital commerce. I hope that he continues for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to like the 1 on 1 communication but over time ive grown to really enjoy e-commerce where i can just look for what I want and order it.
