Contrary to what even some dealers think, MTD (yardman, yardmachine), troybilt, cub cadet, bolens parts are all the same. Just different packaging. I am a MTD authorized service center but don't have direct access to some parts that are Cub Cadet exclusive. But I have received Cub Cadet labeled parts through my MTD non cub cadet distributor.
Well, thanks for the info. Would you happen to how I could acquire a shop manual for my Troy-Bilt. The TB web site provides a number of shop manuals (free d/l) but none specific to a TB30R.
