982 with knock in engine, 3pt, PTO, plow, no mower
 

I saw one on craigslist for $1900, no mower deck, has 3 pt hitch, PTO, a plow, has a knock in the engine. Seemed high to me, what do you think?

Way to high! IMHO

I second that motion

Is it an IH built one? PTO and three point are worth some money. Does it have the power assist steering? Dual hydrolics?
It's pretty high anyway cause the engine is junk for buying purposes
Half of that sounds better if it has the things I asked about

It has dual hydraulics, didn't say anything about power steering. Didn't think you could get that on a 982. It's I, and forgot to mention has been repainted.

Not power steering. Power assisted steering. I have held this item in my hand
It's like a cylinder mounted by the rod Didn't work very well

Sounds high to me as well.

I'm a little different.:biggrin2: Cat 0 & rear pto =$1k, cat 0 plow = $200/$250 if it's a true cat 0 and not the cheapo Sears one. That Onan is worth something too. Got any pics.

Oak is right, the parts are worth what there worth that said I still think $1900 for a tractor that needs a new engine is high, realistically $1000 would be better but $1400 and under would probably be OK. Repower option are endless but expect to pay $300 and up for a used magnum or up to $1500 for a brand new engine.

It does look really nice and the 3 point about $500.00 new the rear pto is very rare and probably expensive, nice boots on it but still the onan motor needs rebuilt don't have any idea on that. A repower for a briggs is about $1600. dual hydraulics, I saw a valve and lines going for $300. on epay the tractor what $800-$1000 offer him $1200. see what happens. My way of thinking is if you want something bad enough you have to be willing to pay. There is no doubt somebody that knows better pricing or closer figures and values these are just some examples of what I've seen. Edit olds44512 you posted yours while I was still typing looks like were pretty close on some of the numbers.

I do think that is a little too high for it. That is an MTD built machine, not that it would matter to me. Are you going to get it?

I paid $600 for an IH machine with bad paint, rough seat, flat tires, 3pt hitch, 60" Haban, no battery, would not run. I put $6-700 into it in hydro repairs, steering components, belts, battery, tubes, switch, gas cap, carb kit, voltage regulator, complete new driveline, etc. Wouldn't take $2k for it. The price I paid for it dould have been recovered in parts value if the engine was bad.

Todd can you shed some light on how we can tell it's a CCC machine? Frame tag writing?

Mike, that frame tag looks like the wide ones used by MTD and not the 1" ones by IH. The rear hitch should be red if it came that way but it could have been added and it looks like the front axle is black in the last pick if you look at the right rear brake caliper. The lower dash panel and front axle were red on the IH machines.

Here is an IH one. Much smaller. You can spot them from aways off

I've looked at that one too. I want a 982 yes. But with it needing a motor rebuild/replacement it's not worth it for $1900. He's firm on the price too.

:biggrin2:.....You guys don't recognize that cub? It belongs to one of our forum member (or past forum member), though I haven't seen him on here for a while. He left when Conner (mrcubcadet) left. It is AJ Gross's cub. Look in the background at all of his other red ones. He knows his red cubs quite well and knows what they are worth, that is why he is firm on his price. Looks like he still has a surplus in his collection. Here's to our old friends. Hope you are doing fine AJ....:beerchug:
