I had one and it wouldn’t charge, never could figure it out. Gave it away and bought a John Deere. … maybe a bad battery? … this thing ain’t electric it’s gas carburetor …. But anyhow I appreciate the replies… I’m headed to the honkey tonk to shoot some pool

Product of MTD , Cub Cadet is a subsidiary of MTD , last I worked there, the hoods, fenders and body were mostly plastic. I worked at MTD started as a lawn tractor company then went automotive parts . Last I knew they make the riding mowers in Shiloh, OH. Seen that they now make side by side ATV's now. Some last while others are junk. It's a crap shoot with anything anymore.

I have a 2003 John Deere L120 and have been told it’s not a real Deere because it has a Briggs and Stratton motor in it. I joked with the fella that told me that and said that’s funny cause the only thing on that tractor I have never had to work on is the motor. Last I knew , CUBS were built with Briggs and Stratton 18 horse engines .

Also find it interesting that MTD's automotive division filed bankruptcy and I get my pension from a government source . Yet MTD is still going strong.

Beer holder and phone holster and your golden.
So OW worked at MTD. I'll remember that next time I'm cussing one. Kidding, after about the third one I leaned to avoid them.
What the real men of the web (lol) could use is a non mtd list of mowers.

Neighbor had one that lasted 10 yrs,. Mowed a 1 acre yard weekly. …. Good deal … I mow once every two months wether it needs it or not lol Savell, I like your style. The neighbors rejoice when I finally decide to mow my yard. Now weed eating I do once or twice a year, less if given the chance.

Using it 6 times per year to mow a small clearing in a shaded out East TX thicket.....that mower should last a while. Go around the bigger protruding oak tree roots.
Also, don't let the young'uns use it to mow the neighbors yards for only $20 a pop.

I have a cub from 1999, it's a 14hp Onan Cummins gasser......... It has just recently been retired to bush hog duty as it was replaced by a cub zero turn with a 23hp kawasaki motor
I will tell you, warranty is different from a dealer rather than a big box store
Keep the deck cleaned out and paint it with slip plate graphite paint
Otherwise just do maintenance like your life depends on it

LOL Like I said, I worked automotive parts! Doesn't mater, as name anything that's made by anyone that's built to last anymore.
