Interesting . as you say they only show as available in the kit. Mtd canada shows them available for 6$.
I misquoted above. The kit is shown on mtd USA as $38 and on back order. Mtd canada shows as 29$ cdn and in stock.
See that difference in distributors and other vendors we have. It seems that US distributor are more interested in profit and like to hide things. I know the parts are available separately but just got find a source that will provide the part numbers then I can usually order by the part number.
It is like the MTD 725-06102C RMC module use here in the US every one of MTD parts look up sources don't the ignition separately even though I know it is a Delta 6900-47 switch. I did finally found a source for the switch. This was after I already installed a Husqvarna switch in the RMC module. It however had the position logo molded in place and one was the wrong one. The Delta switch MTD uses doesn't have any logos. I just couldn't see spending $55 plus shc to replace a $10 switch which I already had on hand. Actually the Husqvarna switch is $6 but the plain Jane switch from Oregon is $10.91. Too bad the switch housing is what was wrong with the customer's switch or I could have just swap the housings out and the new switch to match the customer's original switch.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.
