What are the odds?
A couple of months ago I was working on my 1806 and discovered one of the engine spacers was missing. After searching all over I gave up and used flat washers in place of the missing spacer.
Jump ahead two months. I live on a gravel road with a 100' gravel downhill driveway. We have a recycle bin and a garbage bin that need to be rolled down to the road for pickup once a week each. This afternoon I walked down to the road to roll the recycle bin up the driveway and as I grabbed the handle and tilted the bin to roll it what do I spy laying in the gravel road? Yep, the missing spacer. Two months of 4 neighbors, me, the wife, the garbage truck, recycle truck, Amazon, Fedex, UPS, and USPS driving up and down that road and the spacer still lay there. Think I'll go buy a lottery ticket.

I think you need a statistician or actuary for the full answer but I would go with 12 people times approx 60 days times the number of times you took the bins out and so on
Anyway good luck with the lottery ticket Oz

Good story and I would agree the odds are pretty crazy but stuff does
happen. The odds of you using your money to any good use at the lottery office however are still worse the finding the spacer. Ken |

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.
