Rust bucket ?
 

I found a 125 and 127 on cl but they're rough.I live in inland washington which is dessert ,less than 6" of rain a year so the cubs i have obtained locally have been pretty much rust free. These two on craigslist are on the other side of the cascade range where it rains a lot. my question is ,since i haven't had to deal with this much rust before, Are they too far gone ? this 125 would give me one of each series up to quietline.I've been looking for some time ,should i continue to search? BTW ,can I say go seahawks..........

127 might be salvage-able. I'd pass on the 125.

The 125 has ag tires and a rear three point hitch. A good buy at $150

I have a 127 ,one of my favorites,I wish the condition of the two were reversed

I saw that too, I guess it would be a good parts tractor .The possible electrical
issue might be a nightmare.

In all honest I have used and am using much worse..... personally I wouldn't be scared of eather

Not many cubs your way so if you want them I would get both!:beer2:
The 125 is BO too so I'm sure he would take less.

What mike said.:beer2:

I would get them both, they are in the same place. Heck offer him $175 for both you can always go up. look at it from the parts point of view. taking them apart and selling the parts alone they are worth the money. the 127 has a power lift on it. 125 has ag tires and rear reflectors. there is a lot of good parts for even $250 he is asking for both together. If those were in South Dakota or even close I would be at his door step waiting for him to wake up.

This is what I would do.

The 125 looks like it has lead a hard life, possibly on a farm. I have seen farm machines rusted worse than any car driven in the salt.

I agree if the price is right, buy them both, parts are only going to get harder to get.

I would snatch that up in a second...
Go get it man!!!

He's not getting 150. at a scrap yard for the 125, he'd be lucky to get .08 a pound. I say 200 for both, because of condition and cost to have running again. This was great he listed, and both tractors have many parts! I myself would pursue the two tractors!

Good luck!

I agree with the other guys! I'd get them both, if I could. :beerchug:

Agreed, both missing some parts/wrong parts but great price, offer 200 for both.

Like it's been said, Ive worked with way worse. They both are really not that bad of shape. Get them at a reasonable price for the condition and get them running. They will be good tractors! If not, part them out!

well I emailed the guy and he said he sold the 125 and said the 127 engine turns over by hand but he didn't realize how complete it was till he checked ,so the price went up from 100 to 250.....guess i'm still looking. Thanks for the replies.

Sorry to hear!:bash2:
Don't you just love it when people do that!:angry:

On deals like that, I always leave my phone number and name with them along with a standing offer (whatever price that you think is fair with you). If it doesn't sell at their price, then they just might call you and take you up on your standing offer. Sometimes that has worked for me and sometimes it hasn't, but there is no harm in trying it.

Cub Cadet 123

might do that cc123 ...but I can live with this loss, there are only two that I walked away from that I really regret. A 169 that I thought was too much at $650 and a spirit of 76 thinking I didn't want a lawn tractor. This 125 might have been a money pit. I'll find another of that series someday, heck maybe when I go get my daughter and her family in may to bring home from michigan I might slide one in their trailer.Not all is lost seahawks 2014 super bowl champs.
