Joelk, I don't think many members will have what you are looking for on here. Have you tried MTF to see if anyone could help you over there. Cub Cadet struggled to build a good garden tractor and didn't last long in the scut market. Sorry but that is my view on them.

After addressing some issues my 5252 had when I got it, I have had good results with it.
Good enough that when I found another one, at what I though was a reasonable price, I bought another one. I also considered the poor reputation that the 5252s have and thought I might need to have two of them to have enough parts to keep one running at some time in the future. I really like having a FEL. I never had one before and have found a lot of uses for it. I also like the way it mows and did not want to mow with FEL attached or deal with D&R of FEL all the time(although the FEL is easy to D&R). My plan is to use my first 5252 exclusively as FEL and my second 5252 as a mower. My 5252 mows about the same as my GT3200 with a 60" deck, but I like the ROPS on the 5252 and it seems to get better traction. I have a steep bank to mow and appreciate the extra traction and ROPS. |

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.
