Ever see a Sleeve Hitch (3 point for the purists) on an 1864?
 

I'm guessing the previous owner had an 82 series or other wide frame machine and made the sleeve hitch work on his new tractor.

I plan on pulling it out and seeing what lift bar it has. Hopefully it'll fit my 1282 :D.

That wasn't a bad snag. I thought about grabbing that one too.

Yeah, the front bumper and weights were what I was mainly after. He mentioned another guy messaged him when I picked it up, I almost figured it was you.

Now I'm scared I'm headed for a deck swap project. I think that needs to go on my 1912, not the 44C that's currently on it :D

I'd have grabbed it for the bumper and the weights too. It was definitely a good pickup.

I haven't seen many old cubs for sale by us, other than a $1000 782, lately.

Yeah the $1000 782 with the series 1, that burns oil, has a weak starter, been on MP for 4 months, and he wants an 'honest' price?

I told him I'd go $400 because it looks nice, but it really doesn't have much else going for it in my mind. I've got a lower serial than that one already but I'm still half interested because it's an old George P machine.

lew price? nice options...

I gave $500 and pulled the bumper and weights before I had it off the trailer.

I think I can swap on a 44C deck from my 1912/4, swap deck drive pulleys, and still get $4-500 out of it after keeping the bumper, deck, weights, and rear lift.

It also has a Kohler command :D

Some guy was blowing up the comments in a cub cadet FB group offering $1000, I was surprised to see that. Series 1 782 to me is not a $1000 item unless very well optioned.

So free weights, bumper, and 3 point, not bad.
You may have an issue as I do not see a 54" deck listed for the 1912 with the pto pulley size being smaller, unless the 1864 has the same size.

That's why I'd swap the deck drive pulley (or the PTOs, lol). Probably makes more sense to keep the tractor stock and swap the pulleys, tho. :biggrin2:
