True BUT MTD only makes the small lawn and garden Cub Cadets. The 
tractors in question are the compact diesels (25-40 HP) Those are the 
Mahindra types.

Oh and FYI, if you have the earlier IH made Cub cadets you can get parts 
for them at the Case IH dealer if they are any good. That covers all the 
tractors made up to the plastic hooded "Cyclops" series.
