Thanks, I may grab a condenser just to have as a backup, but I'll keep the one I have for now.

What's wrong with just getting a coil off of a parts store? I order online too.... stuff I can't get locally. Doesn't matter, I just think it's funny that people now days would rather order something online and wait 3 or 4 days to get it. My local parts stores can usually have most everything the next day, and I'm rarely not in town. Or, they will deliver to me... but I'm "special".

In my case, with work and family, it usually takes me 2-3 days to get around to going to an auto parts store. By then, with Prime shipping, the part is already at my door. Plus the local stores i goto have people that don't know what they are doing. Since they can't look up a Cub Cadet 1200 on their computer, they probably couldn't find the part I need, even with the numbers. It took me 5 minutes to explain to a guy that I needed 3/8" fuel hose for my lawn tractor... Then he said "oh you mean carburetor hose?"

Honestly, if I could find an auto parts store with employees that acted like they want to be there and help me, I might go there even if it costs a couple bucks more. But I haven't had much luck in that area.

Thanks everyone for the insight. I'm out of town Wednesday thru the weekend, so it may be another week before I get back out there. I'll check out Advance and see if they have the part in stock tomorrow, if they do I may run out tomorrow night just to see if it works.
