Shocked !!! Front Wheel Bushing Price
I just about had to be wheeled out of our dealer after I was quoted the price for an individual front wheel bushing part number IH-539476-R1 for my 80 hydro. At just under $14 each, that means 2 for each rim, 4 total, I had to pick my jaw off the floor and about had to do the same for myself.
Does anyone know if there is a replacement for these or is there truly something special about them? I am very curious because everything I have done thus far has been relatively cheap until I got to this. Thanks in advance for your help.

alsparl: The Model 80 was produced 1977 & 1978. That makes it 32 or 33 years old. Plus, it's a model that MTD did not make!! That you can get the bushings at all is a minor miracle! MTD job orders these kind of things from local/regional machine shops. As you can imagine, the Model 80 wheel bushings are not a high-volume item thus the high cost...I suggest that , if you really need those bushings, take out a second mortgage on your house and bite the bullet :biggrin2.gif:........

It would be interesting to find out which (if) bushing is the same under MTD's 7 digit part number as the IH part number they currently are.

I'd definitely get the dimensions of the bushing and shop around.

I picked up some wheel bearings and tie rod ends at a surplus place near Idaho Falls, ID the other day... cheap enough , but I hope they are right..lol. Less than $4 each.

Sometimes if I need a part, I end up with another Cub Cadet.

When you looking at all of these machines being 20-40+ yrs old I think that some need to realize that if a part lasted this long, another OEM part should also. I am not that much of a purist, nor am I loaded. But when it comes down to a important part skimping for a cheap replacement is not an option. You get what you pay for, keeping it original only seems right to me..
After all, it's not like the OEM parts are going to be around for ever either..

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.
