Parts and where you buy them and what do you keep as spares?

So like many here I have a few Cub Cadets and like everything they do need parts from time to time. I used to have a great dealer just up the road who stocked parts for just about everything from originals up to current models and had a used section of equipment that had a bit of everything. He's gone now and the dealer that took over is a joke, they stock some parts but nothing like Iver did. Plus they are half a step above useless if you don't walk in with a part number for them. So I've been going to other places for consumable items and some hard parts. My question is, who do you folks use to get your parts like belts, blades, deck wheels, and other assorted parts?
Oil wise I buy mine from the local tractor supply because the rest of the places all want to sell strictly synthetics and those don't work so well in some engines. I was buying only OE blades until they tripled the price on them, now I'm running Oregon and Stens stuff.
Belts I've been using Stens and OE as well as PIX and A&I when I can find them. The local dealers carry about 5 aftermarket sizes and none are correct for the brands they sell!
