ihnick:
1) It's NOT a CUB Cadet (garden tractor)!! It's a Cadet Rear Engine Riding Lawn Mower (RER).
2) It's the first model RER IH made.
3) It's the only Yellow RER IH made (all the others were/are white)
4) It's the only RER that used a Tecumseh engine.
5) It's the only RER that did NOT have a reverse gear in the transmission.
6) It's the only RER that has two pedals; one for forward and one for reverse.
Reverse was driven off a pulley on the camshaft, an arrangement unique to that particular Tecumseh engine.
7) It's also considered an IH collectable kinda like the Original Cub Cadet and/or the Cadet Spirit of 76 Lawn Tractor.
8) It's worth?....Given that I am in Texas, I wouldn't have a clue about its value in Michigan. But I'd get it if I could.....just my $.02.
9) Parts are shown in TC-120; the service Manual is IH GSS-1389. Hopefully the current owner still has the Operator's Manual. You need all three, as each has information that the others do not!
10) It's true that many parts are now NLA, but by using your local Cub Cadet dealer, this forum, and its sponsors when looking for parts, you might be surprised how many are still available for that Model 60.
11) It's a fun machine to operate....I retired mine from actual mowing but enjoy using it occasionally...
