NotMoneyGuy – stresst said Subaru so… Ariens these 920402 920403 Ariens SnowTek 24 & 28 inch slow with LCT
and
these 921020 with Subaru.
>>so what the heck are they both talking about??
Who knows?? The reasons could be all over the place and with justifications spanning fantasy to real. Where are you located?
It could be their supplier/warehouse was out or does not stock things they needed. Maybe it was all unlucky coincidence. Maybe they trashed their relationship with Stens. Whatever. Two dealers saying they are dropping a line for the same reason is interesting and a surprise.

You can get the user and parts manuals there and get the spring number. On taking a quick look it seems there is a Stens spring that is very available. I’m not sure if Stens has an agreement like it did with LCT or just a second source for some Subaru parts. Possibly Stens is the only outlet for SX21 parts. ?? It’s hard to tell if a suppliers part is a Subaru part or an aftermarket. Some suppliers say and some don’t.
In order to make a story more flowing it could have been he had a hard time getting a cowling section and just filled in the part as spring. Maybe he could have gotten the part in two weeks but the customer was giving him a hard time so installed the electric start at a discount. But two dealers makes it different.
