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.
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.
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.
Mil. Spec. Bumper, 1" Diameter, 1" High (Part # 8884T25)

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!
