Default Fate

I went to start my 784 last night for some yard chores. The engine wouldn't roll over but the starter was engaging. So.....I spent the time to dig into the situation. Ended up pulling the starter out. Seems I have a bad "bendix" on the starter.

Got online and looked up the Part Numbers. So, I go looking for the "starter drive kit". Lo & behold, it is running right around a $100.00 (+/-). So, for curiosity, I priced out the entire starter. Come to find out, can buy the whole starter from $60.00 and/or upwards.

And wouldn't know it, the failure had to happen on a Thursday night. I won't get any parts now until first of the week.

That's what I hate about a lot of things now a days, cheaper to buy the whole thing than repair what you have. Here, let's charge more for less parts so people don't fix things. Drives me nuts

Anyway, good on ya figuring out what it is and I'm glad it wasn't something worse than a starter!

Just have the starter shipped "Yesterday Air". It's expensive but worth it.
Sorry I couldn't resist.

I would hold on the the old starter. That new one is most likely made in china and will not last.

FWIW, I can get you a new starter drive gear (KH-82-755-32S) for $32.00 to your door. Takes about a week.

I also hate the throw away world that we live in, I can get a new handle for my shovel for $26.00 a whole new shovel will cost me $14.00 what the "heck" is up with that anyway??? TOTAL BS!

That's the way it always go's. I sold a cub 106 on Wednesday to a guy and when I delivered it he asked me to look at his push mower, long story short it needs a belt for the drive wheels and I had to order one in and won't have it till next week.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
