Deal on a 1000
 

Made a deal over the phone tonight for a 1000. Supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Price was right, including delivery, so I agreed without seeing it in person. I'll post some better pics once I've got it. Not currently running, but supposedly will run, just needs carb or points work. Turns over, has compression, just won't start. Side panels are included.

Based on what I am seeing on CL, only about 5% or less of WF cubs for sale are gear drives. Figured I better grab some while I still can. I guess they've all been picked up by pullers?

Congrats on your 1000!

Hopefully it won't take much to get it going :ThumbsUp:

Congrats on getting the 1000! Looks in good shape!

Congrats on the 1000 looks like its in good shape :beerchug:

I don't know what it is about the gear drive quietlinea but I love em I can't seem to like the hydro versions. Nice find

I like the WF gear drives, too. Have a couple others, and there is something about their simplicity which is reassuring. That hydro stuff is magic, you know. And the speed controls are finicky on these old tractors.

Try burnishing the points, make sure the gas shut-off is open, clean spark plug then try it.

Also, coil may have failed. I'm gonna need a new coil for my 800....I power-washed my mower deck with it 20 feet away from the Cadet....Must have splashed coil somehow. No spark at wire or plug.

Nice find on the 1000!

Getting a coil wet won't make it fail..... :bigthink:


Great find on the 1000!! :beerchug:
