Yep, look like I'm all done too buying cub.

The most I have paid so far is $250.00 for a tractor, usually less in my part of Ohio. I paid a lot for my Original by the time I got all it's missing parts back.

Yeah, I don't think there's any investment value in these tractors. Anymore.
Around these parts, one is lucky to break even, even after buying the machine on the cheap. By the time it's fixed correctly, and you sell it. You never get your invested time back out of it.
If you want to make money. Part them out. Then you'll have paper in your pocket, not coins...
Only way I'll buy another tractor, is if I Get it dirt cheap, and "PLAN" on keeping it for myself.
Shiity part is. Your tractors are immaculate, tractors anyone would be happy/excited to own, but few would be willing to pay you what you have in them...

The price on the tractors might not be going up but parts sure are. A NOS bumper on ebay just sold for $176.00 plus $25 shipping that's over $200 for a bumper. I have 8 of them might be time to start parting these babies out. As I said the fun was in the collecting and finding the rare stuff now that they are done they just sit. Maybe sell and start a new project.

Let me toss out this perspective on hobbies that require collecting and fixing and warehousing "stuff". Dad and I have collected antique farm equipment for 30 years. As he started getting up in years and eventually his health got real bad, it became apparent it was time to sell off some of our collection. I'll keep the tractors, but the implements that took an experienced crew are going to get thinned. Just this summer and fall I got rid of his thresher and our grain binder. Even though we picked them up cheap and did all repairs ourselves, there was no money to be made. But the memories finding/collecting/fixing/using them are absolutely priceless.

Here are a couple pics. For size perspective, the trailer hauling the thresher was over 30' long. The thresher was over 10' tall--before loading on trailer. It went over 2hrs to the west, the binder went 2 hrs east. Both are now in the hands of enthusiastic collectors that have them stored under a shed, the thresher has work to do before years end. FWIW, both are IH machines. When its time to liquidate stuff you have had for 20+ years, its good to put it in the proper hands.

My perspective on this is also more of a sentimental / emotional value that in turn means that no one would ever pay what I value some of my machines at for instance I have a john deere 110 (pardon my french) that my grandpa bought new in 1968 I have almost all reciept seven the original purchase reiciet along with several photos that show family members using/playing on it over the years. Now today it is still all original but its kinda rough and the engine is very weak its not been started or even touched in a couple years but it is something that I would not part with it for anything its safely tucked away under the lean-too waiting for someone to do something with it.
Sorry about the long rambling story but this thread touched close to home I make very little money on this hobby but I do it for the personal satisfaction and the memories.
Finally I just LOVE tractors that have a story with them.

The plant I work at just hired a degreed mechanical engineer. Questions he asked this week are: 1) He pointed to a hard stop and asked what it was, he was told a hard stop, he then asked what is a hard stop. It was mounted on a slide. 2) He wanted to know why a 1/4-20 bolt was called a 1/4-20 bolt. Again he was told and then he said, yea we had that is school and I do not remember. All he has ever done is play video games.

Youngsters today only want to mow and go.

I'm glad someone else presented this question. It's been weighing on me mind for a while. I'm in agreement with most things said about this topic.

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.
