A good deal for a newbie?
 

hey folks!

I'm new to this forum as well as new to the world of garden tractors, having just purchased a 3 acre ranch property last year.

I'm going to check out this 2084 later today - any thoughts about whether this is a fair deal, and is this baby a good entry point into the Cub world?

First, welcome to OCC.... :Welcome2:

Moderator Sam Mac is the Cyclops series expert. I am sure he will be along shortly.

Did that guy use PVC to extend the filler neck??? If that's a direct fit, that's genious and gives me an idea for my own machine...

If you think you need that big of a tractor, it looks like a decent deal. Little high, IMHO. It is a cyclops, but just has a 20hp twin, no options on it and a GT deck. Just an overgrown lawn mower really. But it's in good shape. You're call. I think $900 is a better price for what it is. But, I don't know how plentiful CC's are in Cali.

Agree with Jon. One side panel is busted. That is $200 + decal. The rear hitch has been messed with- so make sure rear end/frame bolts are intact. Who knows what they were pulling. How many hours? Has the rear fender been painted? Previous owner modification gas cap is very odd. How does it vent? Make sure no holes in that deck. If under 500 engine hours and SGT's are scarce, then maybe. Beat them down due to side panel cost.

thanks folks for your tips - y'all definitely noticed things that I hadn't! I will now proceed with trepidation, and see if I can get a good deal once I inspect this baby with a highly discerning eye

I'd try for $1000.00 but $1200.00 is probably realistic in Cali. :beerchug:

Looks like the cap for a race gas jug on the fuel tank. :biggrin2:

the support brace for the right side mower wheels is gone , can't tell for sure about the rear wheel
