They used to have good prices for work. Not anymore.

They charged me almost $40 to install two tubes in my 8.50 ags and I already had the brand new tubes.

I hear Ya. My guy does them for free if I buy the tires from him or $5.00 if I supply the tires.

When Lin owned the shop, prices were fair and it cost what he told you ahead of time.

Lin retired and Mike bought it. Prices got jacked thru the roof. Here's an example. The last week Lin owned it I purchased an air filter for the 122. It was $6.50 plus tax. Two weeks later I went to get one for my 125. There was sticker over the old price and it now cost $14.

It sure seemed like everything was a "problem" that cost more than estimated.

Now that shop is the last stop.

Nice work Jeff.


I hear you on people overcharging. Glad I can work on my own stuff. I hear horror stories all the time..... and on few occasions, I've had places try that crap with me. I'll save stories for another time.

Thumbs up

After much "fun" installing the new Deestone 4.00-8 tri rib front tires with new tubes ( both purchased from Miller Tire ), the 125 is ready for snow duty.

Reading this makes me grateful once again to work at a tire shop. I want to dismount the rear tires on my 107 and paint up the rims. But I'll need to empty the fluid first. Fairly easy work.

I hear you guys about local shops. Ours is high too. They don't do rear tractor tires at all. I think split rims are over $100 now. There are lots of 2T farm trucks around here still running them.

About 15 years ago I had a guy take the liquid out of a tire for me. He kept it to reuse and still charged me $50. Most of the older guys would suck it out for free if you let them keep it, because they could sell it and charge to put it in a tire. I've done all my own tire work since.

A Harbor Freight tire changer and a couple of these spoons will do the tires on a Cub Cadet fairly easy.

A $100 to change a split rim tire? That's robbery. It doesn't take an hour to do it and lets face it, its not rocket science. I paid $500 last year to have a wet mount rear tractor tire fixed. Came to the farm, pumped it out, removed tire and rim. Carried rim to weld shop to have repair work done around the valve stem hole. Brought the rim back the next day and installed with new tube.

Right now I'm working on a side project of hauling off old tires we kept for spares on some farm equipment. Some need dismounting. My tire shop said it would be $5 each to pull them off the rim, I still have to dispose of them. So far I've used my HF manual tire changer to break 3 down and pull from rim. The rest may go to the tire shop.

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.
