'62 Original
 

Just picked up this Original today, from my local dealer. Will go ahead and put it out there...I paid $275 for it..What do ya'll think?

One more picture I had of it on the trailer...

looks good conner, better than mine.

It would have been in my pickup for sure! :beerchug:

Looks good but I'm cheap.Last one I got looked just like yours for $50 .

You did real well, Conner! Nice O!

mrcubcadet,

That one is only worth about $75 and I'm coming to buy it off of you! Now, will you please release my brother?.....:bash:

Looks good Buddy....does it run and mow?

Cub Cadet 123

Definitely worth the money

Thanks, guys! It's rough, but, all in all...Pretty straight!





Haha...


It was said to have ran when it was put in the shed. Anything could happen...but I have a feeling that it will be running after tomorrow. :beerchug:

nice score good deal too:beerchug:

Looks good! You're lucky you got it for what you paid. Usually the dealers mark stuff up high. My local dealer would've been asking $500+. :biggrin2: Then you get the "these were built to last". Then I say, "why are you pushing those new 'throw away' mowers then?". That usually leaves 'em speechless.......:BlahBlah:

All kidding aside, I'm lucky enough to have a good dealer here locally. Congrats on adding the nice O to your stable. :beerchug:

I'm looking forward to taking it for a spin the next time I come on up.:beer2:

Looks good
Thats about the right price at least for my area

275 around here would be a steal. I've seen them go for more without decks in worse shape for higher.

Thanks, guys! It's good to hear!

Yep, would have been on my truck for that price also. You done good. :beerchug:

heck yeah!
 

I just dragged the sweeper around the yard using my O that STILL looks worse than that!

John:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Thanks! It really isn't THAT bad..I think that it will clean up, somewhat.




And where are the pictures?!? :bigeyes: :biggrin2:

I got mine for free.:biggrin2::Cub1:

I have yet to fall into a deal like that! :bash2: :biggrin2:

Me neither...However, I have had newer mowers given to me.

How does it run Conner?

It was raining so much last night, I didn't even bother going to the shed. About ready to first, go finish up some work on a buggy/go-cart...and then will start on the Original. :beerchug:

I got the new battery cables hooked up, took the belt off of the deck so that the engine could turn over, and then jumped it off of the smoker. All the electrical seems to be working fine, and it turns over nicely, with compression.



Now, I didn't figure it to have spark, so I made the mistake of holding the spark-plug wire with some pliers, next to the spark-plug, to see for sure. Sure enough, I felt it before I saw it! Not bad for a tractor that has sat for many, many years. :beerchug:






Haven't heard it run yet, but if I try hard enough, I know I will... :ThumbsUp:

I guess everyone in the house knows it has spark too. :biggrin2: I am sure you will get it running in no time.How is the clutch.Does it work?

I do not know about the clutch yet, but once I get some parts, I should know.

And perhaps learned some new words!

You betcha!

I didn't feel a thing!:biggrin2:

You'll get it running in no time Conner!

Sounds like your getting closer Conner. Nothing like getting bitten by the spark. You think that is bad, hold onto a plug wire for an F-20! Those old mags sure pack a punch. No wonder my Dad wanted me to hold onto the wire back in the day to check for spark. :bash2: :biggrin2:

Ive done the same thing with the spark plug with the 100.

nice score . Definatly worth it
