Best (fastest) source for Ryobi parts?

[cgallery]

There is apparently a FAQ arround here that has a list of sources for Ryobi parts. I'm in the Midwest. I'm wondering if someone can suggest one or two parts suppliers that have good stock (not "we'll order it from Ryobi" on everything), and which ships quickly.

Thanks,
Phil

There is a guy on ebay named komotoast (sp?) he is also a forum member. He can get anything you want.

Correct spelling is "komatoast". I've bought stuff from him. He's fast and reliable. Ebay has a couple of people with Ebay "stores" catering to BT3K owners. You can find them below the auction listings when you run a search for "BT3000" or "BT3100".

The FAQ'S you referred to can be found at the top of the "Getting Started" Forum.

Here's a couple other distributors of Ryobi parts. I've had decent luck with the first two, never tried the third (even though they are closest to me):

Outdoor Distributors

M&D Mower

Roberts Sales & Service

i've bought stuff from him before and found him fast and reliable - genuine, new ryobi parts as advertised.

I've had good luck with M & D Mower.

I just ordered Shims (GRRRRRRRR) and replacement belts from M&D Mower. They had parts in stock. The lady that took my order was very nice. She said the parts will ship tomorrow. I will let you Know how things turn out.

M and D Mower did great job for me. Ordered on Monday the parts delivered on Friday as promised. I will use them again.
