Thanks Dave,
He's asking $500. I've no intention to pay that however (mostly because that would kill my modest hobby budget). Mostly because the condition of the deck, it's missing fenders, no lights, and no creeper. He says I can get a seat off eBay for $10. I doubted that, but didn't really know. I'm trying to figure out how much (roughly) it would take to refurb one of these, and kind of build a budget from that. Then I'd know what I could offer him. Right now, I'm thinking it may not be worth more than half of what he wants. He knows it has collection value, but I think he's overvalued it.

But I have a pickup truck, and I'm not afraid to drive a bit for a good deal. One of the members up in Kansa has a pretty nice O for sale. 750 miles round trip is pushing it though!

i didnt think about his location. i am new to cubs, but what you said holds true to wheel horse tractors. they are very common in the midwest. still, 500.00 seems quite high. i wish you luck in getting the tractor. you will have a lot of fun with it!  Dave

rickbaro,
There is collection value and then then there is parts value. It obviously is not in collectors condition. So maybe all he has is a collection of assembled parts. Earlier this year I went to check on 2 O's. When I got down to buying one..."Oh that was a mistake. That price is for each". Needless to say I don't own an O. But I do have 2 100s with fenders and can't imagine being any more happy. FWIW I would pay that price if it was complete and drivable with a rebuilt carb and tune-up. I have seen decks for those sell out of In.. But shipping would kill ya on something like that. Have fun.:biggrin2.gif:

FWIW I don't think cubs are any more expensive in Texas than anywhere else.They just aren't too popular, the expensive green paint sold a LOT of lawn machines. . In fact I would say in the Midwest where Cubs are really popular collector machines prices are the highest ... That being said, I can't figure why Originals are so cheap.... compared to say, a 147 or a 1250. Of course you are talking less power, but it is a FIRST model cub Cadet.
By the way I picked up that creeper gear equipped Snowblower engined O today ...Got it running in about 5 minutes and drove it around. I think I just may go thru the effort to install a jackshaft or something to reverse the engine rotation ..it is a nice little tractor and would do just fine in a parade or pulling a garden cart. Well worth what I paid. Wouldn't sell it for less than $250 now I have actually driven it. :biggrin2.gif: I can't figure out why folks can't adjust carbs..that was the only reason it didn't run well.

If I'm not mistaken you can turn the carrier over in the rear end and it will then be going the right direction.

$500 for a "O" in that condition is just insane. It is more like a $200 tractor. BTW, it really not missing the fenders. The fenders were a option and if you want a set for it, then you are looking at around a $200 investment. I've seen them sell for as much as $250. A good welded seat will sell for $50 to $100 and a unwelded seat will go for over $100. The seat cracked in the middle a lot. It's very hard to find one that hasn't been welded. You could probably find something a lot cheaper and maybe not so far away.
Truckntran congrats on the new machine. I told you, you had better buy that one. I think Yosemite Sam might be on to something there with swaping the carrier. I think I can remember reading a post where someone put their rearend together backwards and said it would go real slow in forwards but fly in reverse. It shouldn't take more than a afternoons worth of work and it's a whole lot cheaper than buying a new engine. AJ

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
