Exclamation argh-- material costs keep going up

I really hate to do it but I've absorbed increases in material costs since I began offering parts. The straw that broke the camel's back was a 15% increase since August on the steel alloy I use for driveshafts.

Prices will be going up anywhere from .50 ( PTO buttons ) to $5 ( sleeve hitch adapters) .

I'll change the price on the parts on Jan 1, 2015.

Jeff

If you're thinking about a purchase, if you place an order and pay for it by the end of January, I will honor the previous ( now current ) price.

I wouldn't feel bad about a price increase Jeff, it's the nature of the beast now days. You have to do what's best for you, you can't do the work for free.
Seems every week something in town goes up in price.
Just my 2 cents.

Also the quality of the work and convenience of not having to make the parts yourself if you dont have the tools to do it. Well worth the price increase to me !

In order for any business to stay alive, it has to make some sort of profit or it wouldn't exist.

Well said, quality of the merchandise is way more important than price imo.

Jeff,
I think everyone on here have no problem paying for a great product. Inflation occurs and sometimes when running a business, it has to be passed on to customers. Don't feel bad at all Jeff. Your products speak for themselves and I don't mind paying extra for a great parts.

Glad to hear everyone understands. I try to keep my pricing low so pretty much everyone can afford it.

....and no one can ask for anything more than a quality part for a fair price. You were even kind enough to forewarn everyone of the price increase and the reason behind it. That sounds very fair to me.

Now will you please release my brother for saying that.

Just funnin' there Jeff. Thanks for providing this service for all of us!

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.
