Cub 800 questions
 

I have found a 800 roller for sale and can get it for a good price. I know finding a engine will be a pain but other then the engine and certain parts on the engine is there anything that would tie it to being a true800 ? As in serial numbers or anything else on the frame? Thanks for any advice im needing some ammo for when I go look at it

The serial # tag on the frame will be specific for the 800, I think it is kind code 52 if my memory is correct. Does it have the serial tag on the side of the frame?

Havnt went to look at it yet plan to later today. Thanks for the info I will look at see if I can get him talked into a lower price if its real as I think finding a engine might be a pain

yep its 52 just look at my 800

Thanks for check in it out for me I plan to go check . It out on my way back from peoria. Will post pics when I get back home looked to be in decent shape other then the missing engine

You could put 10 hp or 12 hp in it for now

Whatever you do leave the rarity of the tractor and the fact that you collect out of the conversation. I accidentally let it slip that I was a collector and the guy then doubled the price and was serious about it, I said ' so just because im a collector you now think im gonna pay double what you had it advertised for ' he said ' collectors always pay more ' so I reponded ' your out of your bleepin mind ' and walked away.

I don't say any thing about collecting till I Got the tractor or what ever loaded

I would of ask A friend to go buy it .Then After the deal was done show up to let guy know you got :biggrin2:

Actually he called me 2 weeks later and offered it to me for his original price, I guess I was the only one who called about it. I told him if he delivered it I would take it and he drove it down the next day. Turns out it had a creeper in it that nobody knew about because the handle was broke off right where it went into the side of the creeper.
