New to the Cub Cadet world
 

Hey everyone,
So I saw this for sale and bought it for somthing to tinker with. I'm new to the world of cub cadet and had a few questions for you guys.
1. It has a weight box on the back, is that somthing the old farmer put on there? Or was it an extra?
2. I'd like to add a creeper gear and was wondering a good what a good price is? I've found a whole setup for $250
3. Does this look like a good buy for $150
4. Are the k241 with the high compression heads rare?

Thanks in advance and looking forward to the resto.

Having trouble uploading the pic.

Are you trying to post pics directly from your cell phone? If so it always works better if you crop the picture before posting.

Here it is

Thanks for the tip :)

Also came with a plow and mower deck

Welcome to OCC!
It looks like a good deal for the tractor.
A so-so deal on the creeper, but not out of line
All looks factory to me but others who are experts on the weight boxes will confirm.

Thanks Terry, glad to be here. The creeper gear is only a few towns over so I don't mind paying for convenience.

The weight box looks homemade, the real ones are shorter and longer. If your going to add a creeper I would also add a new driveshaft, clutch and throwout bearing, these items will definitely have some wear on a machine that old. We have a member here that makes shafts for a very reasonable price, his screen name is Jeff in Pa. Here's a link to his thread.
