Regardless, I'm screwed because the engine (22hp V-Twin) is 1.5 years out of warranty.............I'm so f'ing made because the engine only had 250 hours on it!!!

Am I correct in thinking I heard some time back that the Cub Cadets we have today -- and about 2-years ago when you bought yours -- are in no way, shape or form our Dad's Cub Cadets which I still see some of operating today? Old, reliable with a zillion hours on them. Built like tanks, not like Tonka Toys....
Just curious as to where they're made now.
Cudos on the wife, too!
