Default Life Long Friend

My life long friend who happens to winter down in Florida is known to have items sent to me to hold until he returns in the spring.

On Thursday a pacel shows up at my door and I think nothing of it. Then on Friday the Fedex truck arrives and the driver asks where I want this rather heavy item placed. A look into the delivery van reveals a skid with what looks like a Kohler engine. What The H!?!. The box from the previous delivery contains the S/G and miscellaneous components off the engine.

I call and leave a message. My friend finally returns the call and says, "Last we talked you said you were looking for a 14 horse kohler. I know you are too cheap to pay for shipping so I found this on ebay and bought it for you. Merry Christmas." He knows me too well.

If you have one "true friend" you can count yourself a lucky man.

We don't keep track. Last month his wife was frantic about water in the basement. It turned out that the shut off where the service enters the house had cracked. Without hesitation I drove over there and fixed it.

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.
