South Central Iowa
I have bought lots of stuff from shoup and been very happy. BUT, I ordered guards for my 499 mower from them. When they showed up they were dull, and even had pitting under the paint on the cutting edge. Sent them back. I've bought guards there before that were great quality. So, hopefully a bad batch, but now there's a kernal of doubt in my mind.
