HOW TO FIND DISCONTINUED PARTS
First and Foremost, Contact Us at orders@bahrns.com
There have been occasions where a part may be incorrectly marked as discontinued by our listing or the manufacturer may have errored with their latest data sheet. There have also been times where a discontinued part may have been superseded/replaced by a new part months later.
Our Bahrns.com sales staff might have your solution through our many internal contacts.

Other Avenues To Search For The Part You Need
Unfortunately, if you have contacted us and we did our due diligence to no avail, it unfortunately means the part(s) you were looking for is/are no longer being replaced by the manufacturer. We take a lot of pride in providing you with the parts you need. But rest assured, all HOPE IS NOT LOST!
All manufacturers from appliances to vehicles to large scale machinery and yes, lawn and garden equipment eventually stop making parts needed to keep their older equipment running. The reasons behind it vary and quite frankly an in-depth explanation at this point isn't going to get that part you're looking for. So let's get started..
The following are some suggestions on how to find a part that's been discontinued by a manufacturer.
Use Your Web Brower's Search Engine
Sure, chances are you found our site by clicking in the top box on your web browser, but how did you search for it? Did you enter the part number in the search? If so, the deeper you look through the browser's results pages, the farther you might get to finding it. With all that in mind, you might also want to search for USED parts. Some search tips with keywords might get you there.
● Part Number
● Manufacturer or Brand + Part Number
● Manufacturer or Brand + Part Name + Part Number
● Part Name or Part Number + Manufacturer or Brand + Model of Equipment
● Used + Any Combo of the Above
You can search six ways to Sunday with all kinds of combinations. But whatever you do, DO NOT merely start a new search after only reviewing page one of the search. With each search combo you enter, look through as many search pages as you can. Many times, that gem you seek is not at all on the first browser search page.
Selling sites you are familiar with that list NEW & USED items
Like the one with the smile on the box or the one where you can bid on or buy it now at their listed sales price.
Scrap Yards, Salvage Yards, Used Part Dealers
These businesses are virtual gold mines when looking for a part. Many of these businesses take in old or damaged equipment, strip the models down to its chassis and tag, organize and store every salvageable part off the older or damaged machine.
Buy, Sell Trade Forums
Forums are online communities where folks discuss, share information, share an issue and give advice. Most times you'll find there's a forum specifically involving owners of the same brand of equipment or machinery you have. Forum communities involving aggricultural and lawn & garden equipment are great sources to discuss many topics especially including those sought after, hard to find parts. Forums are extremely useful because the members who frequent them are from all over the world. Joining the forum and asking about the part doesn't take much effort at all. You might be surprised with the results and gems you might find.
