Default What's your opininion

Do you think having all original parts or hard to find parts make these tractors worth more than not having them like it does on cars? For example, steering wheel cap emblems, battery covers on diesels, nos decals etc...

I think to a true collector it would affect the price to a small degree but wouldn't be a drastic difference in money. I'm sure some of the hard to find items are worth more by themselves than any amount they would add to the tractor, nf hydraulic lift units are worth more on eBay than they could ever add to the value of a tractor. When I did the 100 I heard from a few people about not using the original bolts but in my opinion it doesn't hurt the finished product and if I were to ever sell it and someone wanted me to knock money off over it they could go get bent.

To a degree maybe...

I believe in a complete tractor. Like the steering wheel cap vs none at all, a hood ornament on one that should have one, etc...but some things aren't necessary like a rear PTO. (what can you really use with it)

I recently became a real sucker for bolts with "IH" on them. While stripping down the 70 I plan to restore, I have been careful to retain the original bolts. But not all the bolts on the 70 have IH on them. I have not crossed that bridge yet. But to answer your question, I as a buyer am certainly more interested in original tractor with features like correct steering wheel centers and battery hold downs. Buying obsolete parts one piece at a time for these tractors is VERY expensive.

Your right on much of that what's been said. But the craftsmanship incorporated into these garden tractors stands out when you see that IH monogram on the cap screws. Or WP for West Pull, where they all were made. These days are not coming back, reminded by the cheep throw-away crap you encounter every day.

These tractors need to be preserved as best as can be, and passed on to the next generations to come.

My opinion is everything back to factory parts. Same way you would restore a old 69 Z-28. I believe all antiques should be restored with original parts. I know that if I'm looking for an old IH Cub, the more the better, and the price goes up. I just sold one of my Originals for 2k?

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while and in your case you found a nut with 2k burning a hole in his pocket, I don't think you'll be getting that lucky again.

IH stamped bolts and original hardware doesn’t affect beans on a tractor.... or any piece of equipment. When you dig an old machine out of the woods with the hoods rotted off, trees growing up through it, engine and rear full of water..... then you have to make from scratch all the parts to restore it, so almost nothing but the cast housings are original... it's worth the same price as any other restored machine. Right now the hot ticket is original, non-restored and in good condition. A slightly rusted, or paint faded machine that leaks oil will bring as much or more than a restored piece. Even if the restoration was perfect with all the original hardware. But I promise, few.... very few people who restore old iron are interested in original fasteners. Besides, after it's all painted, you can't tell one way or the other. A lot of truly restored tractors I've worked on had so many coats of paint on it, it didn't matter if the hardware was marked or not, the paint was so thick you would never know it. It matters only to select few, and commands no more of a price tag.

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.
