Local Dealer Let Down
I have a local dealer convenient to me. The owner is relatively personable, but can be a little gruff every now and again, which is fine with me. I've gotten most of my new parts from him for my 2 - 70's and the 1862 since his prices are the same or less than the prices I find on the net. Anyway, I stopped in for a few parts to rebuild the steering on my 70. He had the bearing cups, but not the bushing and gasket at the top of the steering tube. I take the cups, and he says he has to get an order in shortly and can get the other 2 parts I need. I think the total on them was going to around $5. I tell him sure, get them. Then he gives me an "oh, by the way" shipping will be $5.
 Really? You're placing an order already, and you want me to pay more for shipping than the parts? I almost asked him to just restock his parts and I'll come back next week and just pay his price without shipping like I did for the cups? I like buying local, for convenience, knowledge, and general bs'ing, but that sort of turned me to the net for my future purchases.

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.
