I have not heard of it.  I have a Lodi 815 which is a clone of an older Terramite.  I use the Terramite parts manual for repairs, assembly views, and function info.  Mostly everything looks the as the genuine deal.  I have not had to order parts from Terramite, Take with a grain of salt...  I understand from reading an earlier thread that they are not helpful to clone owners even though our money is just as green.
