I purchased this tractor, loader and mower used in December. I added a used 60" Blade to the mix as well. I have only used the tractor a couple times to move snow and so far so good. I do wish that I could find a used cab for it though to make snow removal a little warmer.
I am in need of a couple small parts and it seems that since the Cub / Yanmar split dealers with parts availability have also split. The local Cub Cadet dealer in my area does not carry nor will they get parts for the tractor. They referred me to a Yanmar dealer which is fine, but they do not stock any parts and need to order everything. I wish I could find a good reliable online source for parts.
