New guys first cub
 

Hello from Minnesota,

I just got my first Cub Cadet, a 2186 at an estate auction for $250. It's been sitting for five years in a garage since the man passed away. No gas left in it, so that's a good sign. Had a tag on the steering wheel so it looks like he just had some work done on it. The oil, spark plugs and air filter looks new, but the battery is bad and won't charge. Looks like everything is there, all belts look OK. I guess I'll have to put in a new battery and some gas and see what happens. Wish me luck.

Looks to be a great buy based on the condition.

It has 341 hours and needs front tires. Hoping to get it running this week first I have to figure out how to get the battery out

Welcome to the forum! Nice to get low hours cheap! What's your plan for it? Flip it or use it?

Welcome to OCC!

Thanks for the welcome, My old Sears tractor poop out so l was looking for a new ride and heard good things about cub cadets, my 35 year old wheel horse still runs like new with a 17hp Kohler engine in it so I wanted something with a Kohler. I have four acres to mow with my house and cabin so im sure this cub will do the job

That's the model I got started on...
