[Spridgets] Cub Cadet parts No SPM content

[Jay]

Cub Cadet made a great tractor when they were owned by International Harvester, but years ago they were acquired by MTD, the same company that owns White and offers products at the orange-colored store.

Under warranty, my tractor had the wiring harness replaced and the PTO replaced (parts only on that one.) I regularly replace the drive pulley and it requires frequent repairs and replacement of PTO switches.

Many thanks for the responses on and off-list. I have the magnetic 
coil only coming, NOS!  (woohoo).  I rebuilt the 16HP Kohler engine 
this winter, as well as a few other bits of this machine. This should 
get me to about $400 spent which would make me feel bad, except when 
I walk in the IH showroom and see inferior machines for almost 3 grand.

We'll be mowing any day now (and raking..........)

Thanks again.
