Default What to keep in stock?

For newbies (like myself) it would be great to have a list of items that people over time have learned to keep in stock when working on these tractors. I'll start with what I have learned so far but would love to see others add to the list

Cleaner and Sprays:
- PB Blaster or some kind of penetrating spray. OMG you can't keep enough of this on hand!!!
- Carb cleaner

Bolts and the like:
- Cotter pins (could use the size from someone). You seem to need quite a few of these when you're working on the tractor and the ones you pull out will most likely break
- Bolts - so what are the most common sizes to keep on hand?

Tools (I know this list could go on forever but there are some must haves that I would like to list as well as some specialty tools that I think we could all learn from others about):
- Phillips head screw driver (various sizes)
- Flat head screw driver (various sizes)
- Yes you should have a complete wrench set but seems like the most common are...
7/16 wrench
9/16 wrench
- A combo of broken bolt removal tools. I'll start to list the ones I have bought here soon and give some opinions on how they seem to work

Oil:
- Based on temp outside it would be nice to learn what people use in their cubs. The maintenance guide offers this info but I've read around here some different ideas

Filters:
- A few extra inline gas filters wouldn't hurt and they are cheap
- Hydro filters (what are people using?)

Rebuild kits:
Depending on the engines you work on, carb rebuild kits are good to have on hand. I'll try to look around hear and else where to put links to engine/carb types and the kits that go with them

Misc:
- Extra fuel line and those little clips to hold them in place

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.
