I'd say if MTD/Cub had just made the front end grill of steel (shown below), these plastic hoods and side panels would have stood up better to time.
I recently had my 1541 engine rebuilt, and sure enough, they broke the front end grill where the black plastic grill insert goes. Glad I have a spare new one to put on it. The original quote for the rebuild was $1,500. I think because they broke the grill, I only had to pay $724.
