I have them as well, but you would be better off finding someone in canada that sells them if that's all you need.

This seems to happen a lot. They could put a couple of circlips in an envelope and mail it for the cost of a letter, but they put them in a small flat rate box that is still 99.99% empty. Some companies are better at recognizing how silly this is. I wonder if you called them if they could put them in an envelope? It could be that the automated system uses a small flat rate box as a minimum.

That's true, I could just drop them in a letter envelope. Looks like postage for that is only 85 cents to Canada. I'll send you a PM Lloyd.

EDIT: I just did a lookup on JDparts, and the circlip part number (M68071) is still used on lawn tractors, so you can pick them up at the dealer too.

There is something very satisfying about going into a JD dealer and picking up parts for a sled.
