Seat bumpers
 

The other day when I was placing an order with McMaster-Carr, I decided to add a 10 pack of Military Spec Bumpers to the order. They seem to be rugged and with the metal insert I’m hoping that they’ll do the job well.:bigthink:

The problem I was having was that the set of bumpers that I purchased from one of the common Cub Cadet parts suppliers (that shall remain nameless), just 1 year ago, had already fallen apart! It’s tough enough getting’ the cash up to fix stuff let alone have parts fail in such a short time.:bash2:

So, the next time you’re putting together an order for spirol pins and split locking collars for your clutch rebuild, and vinyl edge for the back edge of your quietline hood, and tie rod ends for any of your Cubs, add a bag of bumpers to your list. At 11.87 for 10, I think you’re gonna be better off than 10 bucks for two from some other place. :biggrin2:

:beerchug:

You're also gonna need a couple of 1/4" x 1" allen head cap bolts and a couple of 1/4" nylock nuts. Maybe a washer or two!

Go to the junkyard and get hood bumpers of a '70's LTD Ford. They won't disintegrete under anybody big rear end.

Junk yards are all empty around here, all been turned into Kia's!:biggrin2:

Wait a minute, I think I resemble that remark!:BB&YS:

I used the bumpers off a fuel door on a newer Chevy, they still look new after 3 yrs.

Wait a minute, Chevy on a Cub!, that's blasphemy! Maybe Ford, but not Chevy.:biggrin2:

I wanted it to be reliable.:biggrin2:

Oh oh, here we go :)

I'll use Chevrolet parts any day. After all, General Motors was a major supplier to the International Harvester Company.

OK I'll bite. What did GM supply other than Delco ignition parts?

I have a stash of the OEM ones,little ittty bitty ones,not like those BAB ones
