Found an Original
 

Today i stopped by a buddy of mine's house that is big into tractor pulling, and saw his collection of garden tractors. Everything from john deeres, cubs, and wheelhorses. While he was showing them to me i spotted an original that was basically a roller. i asked him about it and he told me the motor and all the parts for it were in his other building. His relative tore it down to start restoring it but gave up. so i asked if it was for sale, and he said he had $250 in it so he just wanted to get his money back out of it. So long story short i told him that as soon as i could get the money i'd be up to pick her up. i did notice it had the original air filter for it and he said he had the IH emblem for the grille and the bird for the hood also. So what do you guys think is $250 a good price?

If its all there, sounds like a great price...especially with those pieces that are usually hard to find. You better post some pics when you get it :)

I think that's a good price without seeing pics!

:WWP:

Definitely a good price! :beerchug:

Yes, that is a fair price for one. Mrcubcadet has one listed for $230 with a deck, but it might be a drive for you (??)....Who knows, you could have your own collection of originals very soon!!!

Cub Cadet 123

yeah i saw his and if i lived closer it would be in my garage right now:biggrin2: Today i was talking to a local mechanic and he told me that he also had an original that ran with the original 7hp kohler that he would sell to me for 150. so i just might be adding 2 originals to my collection. now to start making room.:biggrin2:

Great news! looking forward to your pics!

Ditto! :beerchug:
