What Can Be Remanufactured? Find Out Here
Remanufactured Parts
Remanufacturing takes parts (typically from the OEM) that are worn out or broken and rebuilds them. This process makes sure that the finished product works as well as a brand-new part. All areas of the part are thoroughly cleaned and inspected to ensure even the smallest crack is fixed. Worn or damaged pieces are replaced with brand-new ones. Once the part has been inspected, cleaned, repaired, and worn pieces replaced, it is reassembled and tested to the standards of the original manufacturer. Remanufacturing is also more economical and environmentally friendly compared to buying new parts. It is important to note that remanufactured parts may take longer to get since the original part needs to be sent to the shop for remanufacturing.
Aftermarket Parts
Aftermarket parts are made by a third-party manufacturer. These parts are made to be a direct replacement of the parts made by the original manufacturer. There can be variations in quality with aftermarket parts though. Not all aftermarket manufacturers produce a part that meets the exact quality and specifications of the OEM part. There may be differences in material, size, or durability. When buying aftermarket parts, it is important to check for a reputable manufacturer, such as Loader Parts Source, to ensure that your parts are built to last and fit your machine. Aftermarket parts do have the advantage of being more cost-effective and easier to find than OEM parts.
