I guess I've gotten pretty lucky with my dealer, although I usually have part numbers ready too just in case. They have been a family business since 1935, and surprisingly the grandchildren of the original owner are pretty good at getting the right parts. I tell them the model of the tractor and they usually run right back and grab the part, only double checking the computer if I ask them too, or they are really usure, which rarely happens. And if they do have a minor screw up, they are very forgiving about it. Once they ordered the wrong seal for me, and they admitted it was their fault, so they ordered me the right one free of charge...its hard to find sevice like that anymore. They also have barns full of cub parts from complete parts tractor, to piles of rear ends, engine, you name it. I made arrangements with one of the owners (brothers) to buy the hydro lift components from a parts 1811 they had in the barn. He told me I could bring the tractor home, strip off what I need from it, and bring it back to him for $100...this would be the rockshaft, lift cylinder, valve, hydro pump, dash..and pretty much anything I wanted except the engine.
Guess I've gotten spoiled....
