Default Ordering spiral pins
Planning to place an order for spiral pins from McMaster and it looks like they have a few options, any reason to order anything other than the regular steel pins? I'm looking at the 1/4x1 1/4, part #91598a482.

I have had good luck with the extra strength steel ones Tim.
More money but 30% stronger. Part# is 95755A415.

Looking at the specs for them at McCarr, the extra strength and the 420SS are rated higher strength than the reg. steel ones.

I guess it is your choice as what you want to spend really.

FWIW:
The extra strength pins drive in a lot harder.
Do yourself a favor and get some pins that are longer than you need now and when you might need them later, you will have them and cut them to the length you need.
The shipping $$ are saved and it is nice not to have to wait on a stupid pin to be shipped.

I always get the 95755A415 extra strength pins.

It does seem to me that these pins aren't nearly what they used to be, they don't seem to be as heavy and they drive in easier than they used to.

I agree. Last ones I bought drove in pretty decent.

Am I mistaken in thinking that?

I always just go back to my "previous orders" and order the same things that I ordered before...

For about the last year or so these pins just don't seem to be the same as they used to be. I have also tried ordering from a different supplier but they weren't any better.

I used to think sometimes that they were a real bat turd to drive in.

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.
