what are you guys using as a replacement and where is a good place to find them.  i have already lost the two pads that were on the non operator side.

I have no experience with an LT15, but I get my LT40 replacement wiper pads from WM.

Give them a call.  I like to "need" several items before I order to save on shipping.   ;D

I folded a green Scotch pad and attached them with pop rivets. Seem to work well as they will hold quite a bit of ATF.

I wouldn't use a scotch brite pad as it has abrasive embedded in the pad and would wear the track over time.

Look at the wiper pads for the latest model LT15.  They are more substantial and won't get bent.  Should bolt onto any model LT15.

JB, I had that same concern re: abrasiveness but they have not shown any signs of even scuffing the paint. Probably because there isn't any significant downward pressure on them.

I use felt strips which are sold for weatherstripping doors and windows.  Attach with a good double sided tape. Make sure the metal bracket is very clean before putting the tape on.  It has been a year since I tried this and it is still working well.

The new design will fit all the LT15 mills. But not the wide head which has a middle track oilier.
The part # for both front and back, ( so you would need one kit to replace both sides.) 074251 and the cost for the kit is $ 9.95. Comes with new bolt, felts and brackets
The felt part # is 074270 for $ 2.95 ech.

It looks simple and I am pretty sure they will work much better. 

Hope this helps.
