Parts prices

[Tin Kicker]

I'm sure this won't be anything new, but am putting it out as a reminder. In these days that we tend to go to Amazon, Defender, etc for prices, don't forget that a lot of manufacturers sell their own parts so their web sites ought to be checked.

I am replacing the glow plugs (NGK Y-103K) and called a local marine engine parts supplier to learn that they wanted $67 each.
While I did find them on Amazon for $9.19 each, the reviews had me question the packaging and whether they'd actually be a set of 3 identical plugs. NGK makes them and the price is $4.88. With 2 day shipping for three plugs, the total was $25.24 or $8.41 each.

I tried your link and got a blank page that said "403 forbidden".......
Oh my, That's different!

Not sure why but search on the following and it should be the top result:
ngk y-103k 6325 glow plug

fwiw, There've been design changes since the old ones were put in. You can sort of see that these are both marked Y-103K:

Thanks for the prompt.
I just searched on Amazon. I saw those NGK glow plugs, then right under that entry I saw Kubota plugs for the D850 engine (which is what I have):

Amazon.com: New Glow Plug COMPATIBLE WITH Kubota D850 : Automotive

Buy New Glow Plug COMPATIBLE WITH Kubota D850: Glow Plugs - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases

www.amazon.com

I just ordered a set of 3 for $7.99 each (free shipping). At that price, I can afford to let them lie around until I feel like replacing my current glow plugs. ;-)

I looked at those and they are unmarked (presumably Chinese) knock-offs.
Sorry
