Default Goodies for my truck.

I've been driving around for two months with a blown out strut and since plow day is a week away I figured I better take care of it before the trip. The sway bar links were also broke which is probably from all the bouncing the front end was doing. The truck got new strut's, ball joints, sway bar links, drilled/slotted rotors and brake pads. I just got back from breaking in the pads and rotors and I'm very happy with how it rides and stops.

The rear is leaf springs and the shocks seem fine.

Doing you own work is fun. Paying for it is not. I'll have to do rotors on my truck soon as well.

doing ones own work is essential to be able to afford to have the work done... I rely on a shop as minimally as possible.... alignment (after I go thru the suspension as needed), machine shop services, etc....

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.
