Decent Simplicity garden tractor Dealer in the Clarkston/Waterford/Lake Orion area?

Does anyone have any positive first hand experience with a Simplicity dealer in the Clarkston/Waterford/Lake Orion area? I'm asking because I've been to University Lawn Care (in Pontiac) twice now, and talked to the owner a third time on the phone about getting a bagger unit for my 2012 Conquest tractor and they/he have literally done nothing. Each time the owner said, "I'll look into it"...and I've given him my phone number all 3 times and every time I hear nothing back. I started this dialogue with him last fall and it's literally gone nowhere.

The tractor has a 52" stamped deck, so it's a bit of a bastard child as it turns out (all their other 52" or larger stuff is a fabricated deck), but it's a frickin' bagger unit...it can't be that difficult.

I've also searched online like crazy and it's very unclear as to what parts may or may not work. I've tried the Simplicity site as well as third party sites and none of it is very clear.

Any input is appreciated...thanks.
 
Try Weingartz...I've always had good luck with them.
I deal with Brad in parts @ Farmington, he seems to know everything and is really helpful.

Sounds like Simplicity isn't so simple.
 
call simplicity direct or there is a guy in Livonia that is good. Saxtons Power Equipment Sales & Service Inc. (734) 453-6250. Also I am not sure if they will have it but Jthomas in Novi has just about everything and is catered to the landscape grass cutter so prices are cheaper.
 
Thanks for the feedback. I may have to give Saxtons a ring.

Ironically, a guy at work said he's dealt with University many times over the years and that they were excellent. Not sure what the problem is in my case, but this has been frustrating because I'm trying to give the local guy the business (I bought a $500 leaf blower and other parts there before, so it's not like I'm some random stranger they've never seen before).
