I have a 2016 model year Cub Cadet XT1. Over this winter I want to go through it real well and fix a few things. Is there an online storefront that is better than the rest to purchase parts from? I am mostly interested in tune-up parts, filters, etc.

These guys are great. They have reasonable prices, and you know you are getting OEM parts or quality aftermarket if you choose that option.
Shipping charges are reasonable as well, though if you are buying just one small part, the shipping charges can make the total cost more than amazon or even your local shop.
However, if you are getting quite a few parts at once, the shipping charges average out.
They also have an excellent breakdown of parts by model number.
Watch out on amazon, if you are looking for OEM parts, some people advertise it in a way that seems like they are selling OEM parts but they are not. I have had good luck with amazon 'Chinese' parts that work. However, their 'carb kits' sometimes don't have all of the parts that an OEM kit does...

Genuine ( expensive ) cub parts
Cadet & More
Offical factory site
Andersons
Used Cub parts
USED PARTS MOSTLY IH
After that Stens, Rotary , Oregon, & Prime Line all do quality after market prices.
Go to their web page & use the "find a Dealer " link.
Note that a franchised MTS /Cub dealer is usually prohibited from selling you aftermarket CUB parts but a Toro or Husqvarna dealer can
It is a common part of a franchise contract
Independent suppliers can sell aftermarket parts , Jacks Small Engines will often list alternative parts .
However more & more parts retailers get punished for selling aftermarket parts so they stick with genuine .
Small Engine Warehouse & Small Engine Supplies are also good sources as they deal with a lot of superceeded stock

I have had good luck with JacksSmallengines and also with psep.biz. Pats small engine parts. Both have treated me fairly, and for the most part, if they advertise the part, they have it. Some sites still list parts that everyone else lists as NLA, get you to order, then futz around to reverse the charges. Not sure their game, but jacks and pats seem to be past that and mostly have what they list.
