Since I'm relatively new to buying aftermarket parts for these, is there any difference in quality between vendors i.e: any I should avoid? Thanks for any advice you may have.

All this stuff is made in China but I have found the ones from the Truck Shop to be reasonably good quality. About $40 per kit.

Thanks, I haven't had a chance to really do any checking yet, so I'll check them and my local NAPA. I posted this because I've learned from working on old tractors and everything in general, all parts are not created equal. Years ago. a wise friend told me "You don't need to know all the answers, just where to find them".
