Just a feeler, any interest in a 1989 1050?
 

I just wanted to throw this out there; I've got a 1989 CC 1050. I love the tractor, I really do, it's my first (and only) gear drive. We've been through a lot; first engine pull, new motor mounts, broken gear shifter (thank again John :beerchug:) and tons more, but I think the time is coming for us to part ways. My question to you guys (mostly in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, etc) is this: is there any interest from you guys for this tractor if I were to sell? It's in overall pretty good shape, not a show queen, but she's earned her keep on more than one occasion. The engine has just started smoking a little when she gets warmed up. I will say this, though; it has proven to be the best starting tractor I've ever owned. This past winter, even down around -50°, shed kept, she'd fire right up every time. Reliable doesn't cover it enough. Anywho, I just wanted to put a feeler out there, I know they didn't make very many of these units, I think I've only ever seen one other one than mine since I've bought it. I wouldn't want to make big bank off of it, just see it go to a good home, maybe someone that'd want to put a bigger engine in it :bigthink: So guys, what do you think? Anyone be interested in this tractor for an OCC price only if I were to sell it? I'll try to get some pics up when I get home.

PS

Mods, if this is in the wrong section or inappropriate, let me know or just take it down. Thanks! :beerchug:

How many times do I have to tell you I want it?!?!?! LOL! :bigthink::biggrin2::biggrin2:

Are you really serious this time? I seem to recall a time I asked you and you said you needed to hold off :biggrin2: :biggrin2:

1050
 

Here mine, i think there's 3 of us here that have one. I bought it with a bad clutch and trans. I put a cast trans in with a 16 tooth 2nd gear. It came with a tack that said 350 hrs. I think someone has put a new motor in it. This pic is when i was pulling firewood up the hill in a sled. Mike

Good looking 1050 :beerchug:

So true Allen. Like 6 800s and 14 169s.:biggrin2:

:biggrin2::beerchug:

If I could only get Mike to come off one of his smokers for me. :biggrin2:

Nice 1050 and blade jimbob. Looks great and just broke in AFAIC.

I tried already, too. :biggrin2: :beerchug:

Maybe one of these days!:beerchug:

Get in line! Been trying for years, I finally gave up!!! Hehehe :biggrin2:!

That's only three of his 15 smokers. He'd still have 12............:beerchug: :biggrin2:

That's right! :biggrin2:

But today is not the Day. :biggrin2:

Don't think we've forgotten! Those who hoard must at least let other drool over their collections :biggrin2::beerchug:

You guys crack me up!:biggrin2:

I know!:biggrin2:
I will try this weekend.:beer2:

Ok, guys you asked!
First pic is a one owner 1050 that a lady had and she bought it new and all it ever did was mow a 3/4 acre lot. Never seen the rain even! The second is my roller tractor, all it does is roll the yard once a year and back in storage it goes.The last two are in pretty good shape too. Hard to get pics of the last two because they are in amongst other cubs! hehe

Very nice mike, the first one I think is my favorite out of the 4.:beer2:

Thanks Nick! Yeah, it is the best condition one and still has the original 6 pad seat which looks brand new! The second one has original 6 pad also and it is perfect as well.

Very nice collection! Dare I ask, how many Cubs do you have around? Or have you lost count :biggrin2:

Thanks Ryan! I lost count a long time ago!:biggrin2:

Mike you don't have to say where you're at but I might be going to Erie this year to see my wife's family and friends. How much for admission? I'd like to take a tour. :beer2:

Nice 1050, Mike!

I'll be in Howard tomorrow visiting my sister, is that close? I'll take two adult tickets, I assume children 12 and under are free? HeHe :biggrin2:

Bill

Alvy,

If you go to Erie you will have to go right by me so let me know when you go and you can a lot some time to stop here! Admission is free for forum members!:biggrin2:

Bill,

Howard is still about 2-1/2 hours away from me yet but you are still welcome to make the journey! Forum members and their families are free!:biggrin2:

Thanks Allen!:beer2:

Nice group of 1050's. Those gas mizers get the job done just don't have that extra um pa,pa. Kinda like riding on a murry! Mike:beerchug:

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Mike I will absolutely do that. Last time I was there on Thanksgiving and they already had the front end loaders moving the snow out, that place has ridiculous winters.

2 1/2 hrs??!! It took me 2 1/2 hrs to get there! I'll wait for Alvy's pics and review. :beerchug:

Sounds like you need a broker Mike! Or maybe a business manager!! My rates are pretty fair..... :BlahBlah::biggrin2::biggrin2:

Sounds like a plan Mike!

You were half way already Bill!:biggrin2: I live on the far western side almost to the Ohio line.

Yes, I do Jonathan!:biggrin2: To bad you weren't closer to me.
