They made me buy it 106
 

I had a few minutes to search Craigslist today, came across a cub sitting in the weeds. I called, the lady on the phone, said she would take $100 with the blade, $75 without. I got her address, figured the rear ag tires were worth that. I didn't realize it had the deck and the bracket and rockshaft for a sleeve hitch. I now have a tractor for my second grandchild :)

Good deal!

Lucky you, Super deal!...:ThumbsUp:

Nice score.

:IH Trusted Hand:

That GT is in really good shape for sitting out in the elements, you could get your money's worth 10 different ways to Sunday with that thing if needed.

I hope to get to mess with it a little bit this weekend. The steering is locked up, so I sprayed the spindles and linkages with penetrating oil and see what happens. It is my first narrow frame. I saw the nearly new ag tires and rockshaft and sleeve hitch bracket on the back, so it was a no brainer. He also showed me a photo of a rear blade that he had, but I couldn't tell if it was a front blade that had been cut and welded into a rear one, or if it was made that way. I had never seen a rear blade for an old cub before. I am going to go back and get it when he gets it home.

It's only a hundred dollars and you got youself a great deal. Tractor looks great!

Great score! We need pictures :)

Do I see a creeper drive shifter too? Looks in very good condition.

Looks good from jersey!!

Great deal :beerchug:

Good score on the 106!

front rims size for 4.00-8 tires
 

I have the 16-6-50 8 tires on the front, and would like to replace with the 480-8 tri-ribs. I've seen a photo of the tri-ribs on my current rims and I'm not a fan. What size rim am I looking for and where would I find it? I don't even have it running yet, but the front tires are so rotted they won't hold air, so it will it least make it look better while I am pushing it around my garage. :)

This is the blade that I picked up with it. I thought it was homemade when I first looked at it. It's pretty rusted on the wearplate from sitting on/in the ground for some time.

That 100 bucks spent is looking better and betternthe more pics you post.... Hot damn!

I think so..My better half still has her reservations..lol I did get it started, but it knocked hard, so shut it down and will probably have to wait a while before getting very deep in it. My grandson is only 5 months old, so I have a little time before he can use it.

Oh heck yes, that's nice!!!

For $100, you nearly stole that blade and tractor. Great deal!

I prefer to think that I saved it from the scrapyard. The couple got it and a couple old bolens on a property and they were going to scrap it all if they didn't sell. I saw the rear lift and the ags on the rear is what I wanted originally. I've never had a cub with a cooler built in either.

You got an IH rear blade. That alone was worth it.

Wait.

What?

A built in cooler?

Well, that's what I see when I look lift the seat. I believe that the squirrels thought it was a incubation chamber or storage facility for their nuts, but...I envision a cooler. :beerchug:
