I ordered some Kohler parts from this place in December. Still have not received them. Just happened to do goggle their name now and they are closed. Hopefully I will get my money back but who knows. A lot of bad stuff about the owner and manager on FB.

Also, the owner passed away in 2022 and these guys are the new owner and manager.

I removed the link to the website. These guys lied to me about a product being on back order. Even if the link was to the manuals, there are other places to find those.

Glad to hear. I had not used or heard of them before, but I thought it was cool that they hosted all the service manuals for free.

My plan for the future is to get the manuals all here. I just got some cloud storage for the site too, so we will have room to store all we need.

That would be great. I've provided Roland several in the past.

They are closed for now. The original owner passed in 2022. The current owners have integrity issues. Not sure if they are gonna open back up. I am done with them so it does not matter to me if they do open back up.

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.
