Default Sticker SHOCK!

I gave myself up the other day when I posted that I'm a cheapskate... (currently unemployed due to flooding along the Missouri River.) But, I'm in need of a coil lead and am absolutely SHOCKED at the price on the coil lead kit that most places sell for our Cubs... !!!

I've checked around all over and found out that the "regular" auto parts stores can't match it, either. So, I checked NAPAonline.com and found that they carry the kit for around $7 less than most everyone else.

Guess I'm heading to NAPA in the morning.

There's a few other items I need, but I'm just meeting the essentials until the jobsite dries out.

A coil for an old air-cooled VW will work...Last one I bought was $12. If money's tight, buy one of those...

I have bought the HV Ignition Coil Wire at the local Auto Parts Store by the foot. I reuse the "ends" from the old lead.

Jeez, how did I miss the word 'lead' in your initial post?

Tip still applies if you need a coil

Yup, still a good tip. Never know when you'll need one.

I never thought to ask about a section of lead wire to make a new one. Great tip! I went to every parts store around and they never said anything about having the wire in the rough like that, either.

I was also thinking about just buying a random set of plug wires and using what I needed. But, I went ahead and bought the lead kit, it'll be here Tuesday... They didn't have one here in town.

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.
