Default Road trip for supplies

I haven't actually set foot in an IH dealership in 5-7 years--there just isn't one near here. My supply of IH Low Ash 30w engine oil is practically gone and I have been out of Hy-tran and substituting Hy-gard for 2 years or so.
So this morning I decided me and the boy needed to take a road trip--good experience for him as he has a learners permit. We made a trek to an IH dealer I like to pick up some Low Ash and Hy-tran as well as a steering cylinder rebuild kit for one of the farm tractors. It was a 1 1/2 hr trip--one way---that's why the big brown truck brings my parts! Anyway it was a great trip and the kid even remarked it wasn't as boring as he thought it would be!
I did get a sticker shock--qts of oil are about $7.50. I don't really know what we have been paying for car and tractor oil as we buy it several cases at a time from a wholesaler. For the heck of it, 30W Havoline is $5.50 locally, Valvoline is $6.50--so I guess the price isn't too far out of line. The gallon jugs of Low Ash were only about $23. Hy tran was like $76 or so, within a buck or two what I pay for Hy-gard.
Now I just need to get in the shop and use this stuff!

Those prices are what I pay also at my IH dealer. I'm spoiled cause my road trip for supplies is about 7 min.

Looks like an advertisement for IH...if only that truck was an IH.

I don't think their prices are bad, I just don't have one close by either. I think Rotella cost me about $4 a quart and you probably didn't pay that for the Hy-Tran.

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.
