Unbelievable
Went to my local Cub Cadet Dealer to buy a Air Filter for my 1450. I usually go in there with part numbers of what I want, but this time I didn't. I figured they couldn't screw up a simple air filter.
I told the supposedly experienced mechanic what I wanted. The first clue that I was in trouble, was that when I told him the model (1450) he had that blank look on his face. None the less, he did go to his Computer and started looking it up. I told him the model number of the Tractor plus the model and spec number for the Kohler motor. Second clue that I was in trouble, was he made the comment that the air cleaners for all the K321's were the same. I politely told him....not so. Third clue that I was in trouble, that it took about ten minutes to look up a part. I asked if he had access to the internet so he could go to either Cub Cadet's or Kohler's Website to look up part number. He said he did.....but I doubt that he went there. I am assuming, that he was using a Cub Cadet Dealer Parts Look-up program. So he had five (5) look up sources - 2 Internet sites, his CC program, paper parts manual, plus a Tune Up guide. He came back with an air cleaner (Stens equivalent) and something told me that it wasn't right. But I took it and thought to myself, I better check this before I pull it out of the plastic bag. My suspicions were right........WRONG part. With five (5) lookup resources, he couldn't get the right part (too small). Now I have to go back and exchange the part for the correct filter.  Note to Self.........Never go to that Dealer without part numbers in hand. I am going to venture a guess, that this is like a lot of Cub Cadet Dealers. They only know the newer models.

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.
